The discussion is good as long as it is constrained to the right 
place.  The harm comes from consuming so much time from so many people 
due to duplicated email messages.

I am not on the help-smalltalk list.  I assume that the list moderator 
is annoyed by the many messages which arrive and now require 
moderation.

IMHO, the gnu.org mailing lists would benefit by refusing messages 
which are CC:ed to multiple mailing lists.
