Or by closing the list if it was deemed to be an unhelpful echo

I just found this gem:

[[
We now have a brand new list that is totally devoted to technical
developer questions and answers - no wide ranging discussions about DRM
and the like, just pure tech development talk straight from the community.
...
It works in exactly the same way as the main backstage list but we’re
going to take a much firmer view on what is discussed there – the
developer list will be completely developer focused, and by that I mean
messages along the lines of ‘Where’s the Weather API stuff?’ or ‘I’ve
just built X give it a go’.
