I could not agree more Rich.  I joined this list a few days ago after
starting to get into the core of PHP.  Service to say I've not been
that impressed by the developers seemingly knee jerk reactions to some
list noise.  The idea of shutting out anyone that's not a core dev is
impeding future generations of core developers when all this list
needs is a few people to moderate the noise, if indeed the consensus
is, it is too noisy.

I'll be honest, I feel very hesitant about posting anything to this
list after what I've seen these first few days.  Seriously, is that
the message you want to send to future devs Jani?

Anyway, I'm new around here, so what does my opinion matter ;)
