[off-topic] More boring xml-dev meta-discussion.

Filtering is one thing.  Working with other participants in 
maintaining list relevancy is another thing entirely.

I already have a filter for xml-dev that puts it in its own mailbox, 
sorted, threaded.

I do feel compelled to read every xml-dev post, because this practice 
has bourne much fruit over the years and is somewhat necessary when 
people get out of the practice of using the Subject: field properly. 
It is a good way to learn new things, and it generally is a helpful 
practice - unless of course there is a soapbox festival going on, in 
which case it becomes extraordinarily tedious ... like this thread 
I'm now contributing to has become.

So, whatever.  No more of this from me.  I'll go back to lurk mode on 
xml-dev (where I have been for years) and try to ignore the politics, 
beauracracy, and NIH'ilisms ... but I sure hope someone out there 
feels compelled to talk about XML every now and then.
