I haven't read the list in days (slammed at work), so there were 180+ unread emails in it, for me. Only one (1) of them was political: I.e.: Referenced the adoption of LibréOffice by an organization. The only other non-tech-support related threads I found were, ironically, those started by you: See you later, I'm gone, and this one. As for the Hey, lookit who just adopted open document formats!: I've seen that kind of thing on many project mailing lists in which I've participated, over the years. For the average user, the spectacle offered by this list can be pretty off-putting. Just saying... You need to get out more. Or, then again, perhaps not ;) This list, other than the activities by our resident troll (whose name shall not be mentioned), is pleasantly free of rancor. And, I would note, appears to be populated by an exceedingly friendly, helpful group of people. (Save the aforementioned troll, who I have permanently bit-bucketed.)

Jon, *, Fortunately, there is a very effective filter. Simply follow this forum on Nabble http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/ You'll still need to subscribe to actually use the listserv, but can choose what topics you actually want/need to read.
