Welcome to the club of all the "silent" contributors!
Usually I try to follow discussions if they appear relevant or
interesting to me, but once they "tip over", I mark that thread as
deleted and mercilessly nuke everything new that comes in.
Yeah, I might miss some important information, but it's unlikely tbh
once you are 20 replies deep into a thread.
On the other hand: I don't want to spend all my free time reading
emails.
So, if you don't care about a specific topic: just ignore & delete it.
This is how I think most do it. Just read the interesting parts.
Btw, this list is imho still pretty moderate, only the occasional
controversy causes a huge thread of replies (and people manage to stay
civilized and tend to bring in new arguments). There's other lists
(unnamed to protect the guilty) where the signal to noise ratio is
much,
much worse.
The discourse debate and the fw debate are not the norm but the exception. We see a few of
those from time to time. Most threads aren't like that though.
