I'm glad you have your opinion. I don't have the time to sit and browse through all the arguments between 2-3 people that go on for 50-100 posts or more as they fall more and more off-topic, so I would like to know if there's any conclusion without wasting my time on that. My options are either missing important announcements or creating this list. I would prefer the list.
