Please do not top post.

So does a "public forum" imply anything goes?
Should a mailing list named 'fedora-list' be for Fedora related topics?
Would it be better that everyone explains how many beeps their new
power supply makes? Or how shiny the new glass is on the case? -- What
could anyone get out of that?

This type of "commentary" does not scale on such a mailing list. As
much as I dislike the harshness and attitudes by some people, I do
agree that is it not unwarranted.

Mailing lists for a *specific* topic only work when their members
abide by certain guidelines.
