I would love a truly hacker mentality oriented mailing list focusing on doing stuff rather than what's cool/not cool. I don't want to complain about HN, it is what it is and a lot of people like it the way it is. But I'd really like a place where the vast majority of links point to blogs of people doing things in tech, or giving me ideas about what I can do in tech, rather than links to news agencies or news papers or long format writing on non-tech related topics. If it was a mailing list it would be incredible. I'd love to go back to being able to plonk people into kill files and filter/sort topics however I want. Of course, ironically my most upvoted comments are all about news or long format writing on non-tech related topics. But I really don't have time for that and I keep getting lured in ;-)
