Nah the file list was last updated 04 November 2007, that's probably due for an update. But if you go to http://pandius.com/lastup.html you will also see everything that has been updated, at each update, this is also what is sent to people through the notification system.

(4) Perhaps, but i'll back him on the accuracy. Boards do tend to attract a fair few trolls. Often simply people will little to say but get some small satisfaction out of belittling anothers level of knowledge, or being argumentative over the smallest discrepencies. I have very rarely seen anything like that on this mailing list in my ~5 years of lurking.

Which of the Piazza members do you consider to be trolls? I can only think of two, both of which got banned pretty quickly. (Although I haven't posted there for a month or two - has there been an explosion?)

(4) Sorry, I was talking about boards in general. And drawing on my experience with the WOTC boards, which can get silly at times. I just now registered on the Piazza to take a look. I can now see why the mailing list slowed right down. There is actually a fair bit of activity on there.
