Only now I noticed that the Linux-IL is overdue for the periodical discussion why people leave it, whether to split into more mailing lists or not, and whether to allow vi vs. emacs flamewars.
See: http://oii.org/lists/lifecycle.html and share with your girlfriend/wife the sorrow of the bloody days of the period. And if you observe "taharat ha'mispacha", refrain from touching the mailing list during those nidah days i.e. do not post messages until you have counted seven "clean" days after the current meta-discussion has died.
