Don't know what the solution is.
The more general discussions are useful too and I learn from them.
One can learn from anything but one does not necessarily have the time
to do so. The reason I set up filters is because I do not have the
time and attention for such traffic. At some point filtering itself can
become burdensome.
If you
want folks around to answere the fix-it questions you need to have
something else too so they keep reading the list.
Not sure I follow that. It's not a hard and fast rule but people who
enjoy fix-it questions tend to prefer and read fix-it questions not
something philosophical.
People need fix it sources ... but not chat sources are more of a like
than a need.
I resolve to ignore posts or blow the whistle when things get out of
hand. Others should feel free to blow the whistle too.
People usually get peeved when one complains... and it just generates
chatter about chatter (such as this!).
Tech philosophers are doing what they like to and others who respond
also enjoy it and thus the conundrum for a list as a whole...
