True. But that number is very small compared to the rest of the population. I would (no offense to you) rather sacrifice a few users
If you don't want to cause offence, the don't use pejorative terms.
who are still using (forced or otherwise) caveman technology to connect to the internet than fragment the knowledgebase and require folks to join a dozen or so mailing lists. If/when the mailing list reaches critical mass and a split is required for sanity, then so be it. I don't think we're there yet, and I completely agree with Karanbir on this one.
A problem is that the "voters," to some extent are self-selecting. Those who can't or won't deal with it leave and their opinions, if they voiced them at all, are forgotten.
This won't be the first list I leave because of the volume of email, but it's the one I cared about most.
