<div>I don't doubt your frustration or your good intentions,

<div>will generate a large volume of increasingly heated

<div>annoying (at least until it all dies down). Not your

<p>No, obviously you don't.</p>
<p>There is just no way the community can handle a dozen or more
proposals per month in any reasonable fashion, essentially it is
just gaming the system in another way than wikifiddiling. BTW I've
used threaded mail clients for a couple of decades and that is not
the problem either or the volume that the bike sheding which is to
be expected due to the subject matter tends to produce<br>

<div>The best solution is a mail client capable of</div>
<div>filtering out threads or people you feel are not worth
your attention. It's not an ideal solution</div>
<div>because you will miss things that way - somebody raises a
good point in an ignored thread</div>
<div>or somebody you ignored because you almost always
disagree with that person says</div>
<div> something worth while.</div>

</div>
<div>Downsides of filtering: you may still see snippets of
somebody you've blacklisted when</div>
<div>another person quotes them. You may see an ignored
thread reappear because of</div>
<div>people not threading their replies correctly.</div>
