Hi, Roberto, Understanding a problem before solving it is good policy, I think. If the problem is noise (and I don't thnk so) on the list, then maybe the following would be helpful.
These attempts at monitoring the hallways are seemingly always the longest threads. I also don't believe the 30% figure. That does not come close to what I see. I would be surprised if that were not greatly inflated. I would like to see a percentage determination of the percentage of posts which are about the list and about other peoples' questions. I would bet that is fairly large. If we want to shorten lists, I would encourage people to give better information on their questions and to ask people to think about their answers. A quick perusal of the lists shows me that this is the biggest inflator of the list. Even the present question or statement is not going to end up with a thing happening. That is almost guaranteed. If real answers were given to real questions, presumably there would be many two email exchanges. These are not, I think, the norm. Anyway, if noise is a problem, then an analysis would be the way to go. What do you think? This is just my take, and I am probably full of monkey doo.
