I am not in favor of changing the list name as you have proposed because 
that name inadequately represents the original intended purpose of the 
list.  The original intent was for a discussion list with a long term 
planning time horizon, and back then 2020 was an attractive and catchy 
name.  Today, 2020 is merely six years away, and can easily be within 
the budgeting horizon of many local organizations.

As for a new name, Moscow Vision 2069 is a prime number beyond the 
lifetimes of most of this list's readers, and will more appropriately 
serve the original list intent.

Concerning number, frequency, and content of electronic messages, check 
out and use more effectively the filtering rules of your email 
software.  Messages deemed undesirable can be automatically stored 
separately for later review or deleted on receipt without user action 
after rules setup, so very little repetitive management action is 
necessary.  After a bit of educated practice, a filter rule can be 
established or changed in a few seconds quite easily.
