I agree the email trail is critical for tracking purposes and the list is exposed to the public and searchable via engines. However their is excessive chatter on the list at times and I've contributed to it or begat some of it. Sometimes you have fragmented thoughts and get it out to flush the mental buffer but it would be nice to consolidate these emails. I think we can leverage messaging software to get in contact for a quick response or discuss things. However we must be diligent and make sure we summarize our conclusion on the list so we do not become a closed community.
