There has been a fair amount of chatter recently on IRC channels frequented by Ubuntu developers (none of which are secret, BTW) about the signal to noise ratio on this list. Many indicated that they are no longer subscribed. This list was created to give users a way to discuss Ubuntu development with developers. Comments like "I was just joking about you having to know anything" make the decision to unsubscribe easy. I'm seriously considering it myself. I can understand being unhappy about regressions in particular and problems in general. I'm not happy when they hit me (there are items in the release notes for 8.10 that are there because of 'fun' I had after upgrading). I would encourage you (and others, you certainly aren't the only one) to hold your temper and if you can't say something helpful, just take your hands off the keyboard. Being angry, contemptuous, and disrespectful won't get your bugs fixed faster. What it will get you is yet another list with no developers on it and you upset you can't get in touch with them.
