That's not my impression.  I haven't read the list in days (slammed
at work), so there were 180+ unread emails in it, for me.  Only one
(1) of them was "political": I.e.: Referenced the adoption of
LibréOffice by an organization.

The only other non-tech-support related threads I found were,
ironically, those started by you: "See you later, I'm gone," and this
one.

As for the "Hey, lookit who just adopted open document formats!":
I've seen that kind of thing on many project mailing lists in which
I've participated, over the years.

You need to get out more.  Or, then again, perhaps not ;)  This list,
other than the activities by our resident troll (whose name shall not
be mentioned), is pleasantly free of rancor.  And, I would note,
appears to be populated by an exceedingly friendly, helpful group of
people.  (Save the aforementioned troll, who I have permanently
bit-bucketed.)

Regards,
Jim
