You are right that too many people do not contribute. We are lucky that people like you do.
But I do still wonder if both 'technical' discussion and 'theoretical' discussion might benefit from separation to sister lists. I enjoy abstract discussion (though abstract opinion all too easily becomes polarised). But many who might contribute on practical problems are probably discouraged by the predominance of theory on the list.
