I joined this list recently to see about participating more with PLUG. Is this really what a Linux-oriented mailing list is about? My mailbox as never been so full of crap. 

What's the usual ratio of rabid howling to actual technical discussion?

The list will be solidly technical for two or three weeks at a time.  Then a hot political topic comes along that generates a huge amount of off topic traffic.  On rare occasions threads refuse to die so list admins have had to kill them.
