Then clearly you thought wrong.

An email list like this would be a nearly useless way to attempt such a 
purpose because the information would not reach more than a handful of list 
members in a timely manner.

And, to be blunt, even if it could be accomplished in a timely manner, 
alerting "fellow Skywarn members across the States of severe weather 
conditions" would simply be a waste of bandwidth.  There is nothing that 
Skywarn members in one part of the country are going to do about severe 
weather a hundreds or thousands of miles away.

The exact purpose of this list is not explicitly stated in detail on the 
list webpage beyond "Discussion of Skywarn" but historically this list has 
been used to discuss a wide variety of topics of interest to Skywarn 
participants as well as non-participants seeking information about the 
Skywarn program.

Since you don't cite any specific "debate" that you find objectionable, I 
will accept the risk of assuming you are talking about the discussion 
concerning storm spotting vs storm chasing.

Again, the purpose of this list is not spelled out explicitly, but I would 
point out that this is a moderated list.  Therefore it would be impossible 
for any significantly off-topic discussion to continue for more than a few 
messages.  Thus I have to conclude that the on-going discussion of storm 
spotting and storm chasing is NOT off-topic, at least not in the opinion of 
the moderators (and their opinion is the only opinion that matters 
concerning what is or isn't on topic).

If you find such discussions to be outside your interests, I think you will 
find that your Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone email app includes a 
method to delete messages.  I would suggest that you refer to the 
documentation to learn how to accomplish this task.
