I share the sentiment. I am also a long term member of this list (for
18/19 years). The quality of posts of late has been poor.

I once wrote individually to some of the people you have addressed above.

Since there appears to be no institutional mechanism (or any discussion
thereon) to shun the nuisance I just did the best I could individually: If
I notice habitual obscure/non sense senders, I block them in my mailbox.
(To be precise, I use procmail to redirect such senders' "stuff" to
/dev/null).

Moderation could be one solution (though I know it was once done away with
after such demand). I do not know what other best practices exist for
this.
