Thomas Narten used to send these posts and they've been around as long as I've been around which is a very long time.
You can find past discussion from the community as to whether people find them valuable around the time John started being the poster:
Personally, when I've been engaged in discussions, seeing my name near the top of the list is a reminder that it might be time to drop the discussion as many on this list can go on for a very long time, which can be way more annoying than this weekly message IMHO. I think it's also somewhat useful in considering diversity within our community as you can see that it's not a very diverse list of people that do post.
Regards,
Mary.

This bot is now posting as much as 13 entries on this 18 entries list (but seems to give itself an entitlement not to be listed)
I’m also not sure what the original reasoning behind this bot was. I hope it wasn’t any name or shame calling that was based number of emails instead of based on content of emails.
Is there anyone who still believes these emails serve a legitimate purpose, and if so could you explain to me what it is?
Or lacking that, can we tell the poster to retire this bot?
