Agreed too. Sometimes my eyes glaze over the GTD threads, but I can always mute the threads I'm not interested in. Perhaps an additional low volume org-mode-announce list would be a good idea for those more interested in product than process... To be honest I think we're still too small to justify the overhead of another list. When we're touching on having 100s of posts a day, maybe.

The issues raised on the mailing list are very much to the point and actually relevant to org-mode.
