That's not why the list isn't taken seriously by FS. It is because of the
lackadaisical moderation of the list.

I couldn't agree more!
I'd like for this list to be taken seriously again. But that's not gonna
happen until people actually take the time to learn and educate themselves
about JAWS a little more. Sure there's a whole bunch of stuff I don't know,
I'm no expert especially when it comes to scripting. But I do take the time
to listen to the training materials and read the help topics when i don't
know how a feature works. and if I'm still a bit stuck that's when the list
comes in. The list should be something you use when you've tried a lot of
things but it just isn't clicking, or if you just have no idea about
something and just need a bit of guidance.
