Some of us have been down this road before, Eric. Yes, people will be
moving on, but that's not an excuse to throw everything into a pile as it's
just noise, counterproductive, and a disservice to those who really need the
list for something other than as a chat medium to pass the day.
As for not reading anything you don't want to read - some of us are on the
digest form of the list which means the server concatenates messages
together as one giant email and sends it out. You cannot skip messages in
digest form as everything is inline text, you get everything whether you
like it or not. I don't like receiving digests full of noise as they're
tedious to read, and often lead to situations where I miss posts I am
interested in because they get lost in that sea of noise.
While having another forum or list for migration and other topics may be
that one extra click of inconvenience to you, it's the right thing to do.

Yeah I agree entirely with what Raf said.
In addition if enough people want the discussions about transition
experiences of members of our community to stop here I can get on board.
Just know that when that happens the community will start to dwindle
rapidly. It's the same damn point that's been made over and over since the
EOL announcement. We're going to have to move somewhere else. Softimage is
done. Some of us are transitioning sooner than others. This is going to
leave the community pretty fragmented so topics and sharing of experiences
is going to be very mixed up.
If you hit something you don't want to read move on.
