Getting tired of pontificating via Events mailing list, anyone?

Yes, it is a campus-wide epidemic... Someone posts a notice about a meeting to discuss car parking, and some individuals take it upon themselves to think that the thousands of people on the mailing list want to be bombarded with their perspective on the whole sorry issue. Why don't they just go to the meeting and stop clogging up the email system? Perhaps they should be doing something to tackle the issue itself if they have so much free time to have public email spats? In any case, the arguments are about 2 different things, and that's why there will never be a resolution. It's like having one side of 2 equations, and wondering why no-one can find the solution...
