 I'm OK with this approach, and I find it appropriate for this
 mailing list.
 Maybe it will also help to shift the balance between technical
 and emotional-personal-drama-fueled messages toward 'technical'.

 Only slightly related: maybe not everybody know that this
 mailing list can be read through web archives, and you can
 even subscribe to it while not receiving messages at all
 and preserving your ability to write to the mailing list.

 This may work for some people who don't read the list often
 but sometimes want to reply.
