Seriously, unless you took a poll of the userbase with a question like
"Do you think posters on the SM NG represent your concerns", and the
majority answered "No", your statement is purely anecdotal. Intuitive,
maybe (and that's arguable), nevertheless it's anecdotal and not founded
on factual evidence.
Plus, I don't think that's the point anyway (in debate lingo, your
statement would be called a "Red Herring"). Rufus's argument is based
on the valid notion that posters here have legitimate issues (which I
don't think you disagree with).
Now you've brought up the point that the SM staff doesn't have enough
resources to patrol these NG's, and the may indeed be an issue.
But the issue is NOT that this NG is or is not "an accurate
representation of the SeaMonkey userbase". That's largely irrelevant
and may only come into play if the SM group uses it to establish
priorities . . . and even then I come back to "How do you know that?"
