Many Linux friends I know have stopped reading the *linux newsgroups because of the S/N ratio. Many FreeBSD friends I know have stopped reading the FreeBSD lists because of the S/N ratio and the sheer volume of mail. This includes dedicated FreeBSD diehards. Certainly, I no longer tell anyone new to subscribe to the FreeBSD mailing lists, because I know the volume will overwhelm them. When old members have to unsubscribe to the mailing lists and new members can't join, then you know something is definitely wrong. The current mailing list status quo is untenable.
