Your assessment of the signal to noise ratio suggests you're wearing ear muffs.
Hardly. It's an assessment that's been made many times, by many people, some of whom have left the list because of it. In fact the noise on this list caused at least one competing list to be started just to avoid it.
It would be one thing if Kirby trolled Art, or Art trolled Kirby, and you each recognized it as that, but you both seem unable to resist responding to each others trolls. Which is too bad, because you both have valuable points of view and useful things to say, but I (and surely others) have started to filter it out because we're tired of wading through the pointless (and frequently juvenile) feuding.
Now, as with any other time I've tried to step into this brawl to break it up, I'm sure I will be told off for it and soon wish I'd stayed in lurk mode. Oh well.

The members have been polite enough on that list not to have annoyed each other with a thought on anything for the last few months,.. Something inbetween would be better, for sure. I seem to have a reputation to maintain, and nobody (who speaks) wants to notice that I am trying to help make that happen. Which makes me care less, frankly. Art

How about at least starting a thread there about .... well something. I promise never to post to that list. I have no embarrassment about how I handle myself here - whether I should or should not But would indeed feel better if those who feel I should had someplace to chat. But thanking Dethe for pointing you in the direction of an inert list is just being cute, it seems to me. I will jealous and annoyed if the discussions there becomes interesting and significant - having vowed not to participate. Make be jealous and annoyed. Art
