I think the list is fine.

I read the list and others with Forte' Agent because it has infinite
filtering possibilities, allowing me to dump what I don't want to read
about.  I'm not advertising here.  I'm simply telling what I do to
enjoy the list and filter out what (to me) is nonsense.  Other folks
view nonsense differently than I do and have different opinions than
I, so rather than gripe about what others like to spout off about, I
filter those folks and their favorite subjects out.
