That's what I find with the freebsd-questions list ... there is so much 
noise in there that I tend to avoid posting to it for fear that my email 
will just get skip'd over ...

I am definitely against *merging* lists ... getting rid of the 'meta list' 
makes more sense so as to force ppl to *use* the smaller lists then to 
merge smaller lists and *increase* the noise on one of them ...
