If something gets too noisy, I tune it out > (and potentially miss some helpful information in the > meantime). With careful use, however, mailing lists can handle noise very well. Grouping many small and related ideas under a large essay-like message reduces the amount of messages and visual noise. Users may skip that one single message instead of many small ones. Grouping discussions under threads reduces the amount of top-level elements. In an e-mail client with proper threading, the top-level view is a list of threads, e.g.: https://files.catbox.moe/uikk9p.png By the way, there is a super-convenient way to access this very mailing list, as well as many others -- the Gmane NTTP gateway. Just point your newsreader to news.gmane.io. That way, you needn't receive the e-mail locally (and filter them under per- list directores).
