Yeah, I kinda expected them to at least acknowledge the issue (which
Dariusz did by the way, in his capacity as the chair of the committee
responsible for this process) and outline a timeline for a response, or say
there will be none.
I see Fae wrote a similar email with such surprise. Lets see wh
I do agree in general that generic '+1' emails contribute very little. If
you really want to thank someone, or welcome them, it probably makes a
better impression if you write a little more than that. Say a few lines to

Pardon my poor sense of humour, but I couldn't resist! :P

To me, "Hello" and "Thank you" are quite under-used words on this list (in
the movement generally but particularly here) so I would prefer we didn't
rule these emails out.
After all, if we remove pile-on positive threads that contain little
information then pile-on negative threads with equally li
Hoi,
The drawback is that not everyone has the inclination to read everything on
Meta as well. At some stage it is just too much. By insisting on silence,
the silence may become overwhelming and it increases the notion that this
list is only for polical tigers.
