I don't see what's the urge of pleasing everyone? each mailing list has its own crowd, there are debian-il mailing list hackers-il newbies and so on, there is no law against being on more than one mailing list, there is also linux-il-annonce which is just for important annoncements but seems not to really be in use anymore. linux-il is a very social list, and at least for me is what I like about it. I don't like those over technical lists which shoot you down everytime you say something off topic, and I find that seperating linux-il and newbies lists was a preety good idea, (forgot whose). changing the nature of the list maybe would bring few new ppl but would probebly make you loose others, and anyhow if those ppl wanted change they should have asked for it, if they went away it means linux-il as a social place is not important to them, and I don't see why we should care about them?.
