I am assuming that "give up the list as a useful place to get work done"
 is sarcastic.
If not, the humor contained in it is involuntary, but still remarkable.



  The "general purpose" mailing list is

The problem is scaleability.
I agree that it will nice to have a "place of work for all intents and 
purposes", but how many subscribers will this list have?

One of the two: either this list will always have few hundred 
subscribers at the most, and therefore it will never claim to "speak for
 the Internet people", or will have a completely different order of 
magnitude, and therefore will be unmanageable.

We need a different model, IMHO.
