> More lists mean more work, less fun.

I certainly disagree with this statement.  I find myself scanning this
list and reading maybe 1% of the posts.  I agree with Sean that this
list needs to be split up and organized.  I do not see how quantity
can/should be argued as a strong advantage for a mailing list.  It lends
itself towards "scrolling blindness" where messages dissappear in the
midst of the mass of email for the day.  I for one would like to see 
ruby-help, ruby-announce, etc... type mailing lists.  More important to
me than the high volume is the density of useful information.  High
volume decreases that.
