I have to agree with this whole email. Very well said.

Seriously people, can't you just listen to it and not correct it? I hate
when people do that in real life too. I am totally for getting the old dwm
list back. Why not just have a dev list then a dwm list. I know the dwm
list was mainly the "dwv" list but why not change that? Have this list for
kindof "off topic" or whatever, and have the dwm lists for dwm stuff. Why
is there a problem with that?
