How about just adding a tag such as [discussion] on such threads so that people can filter them out if they want?   I do think that having those discussion on an unmoderated
list so widely read is indeed sometimes painful but absolutely necessary if we want to keep this community alive and animated. We don't  really need yet another read-only list, corpora
is probably one of the last   remaining list where debates and arguments can randomly occur  and it's refreshing.


Best,
