The thing is, this list has a lot of traffic (as you might have noticed :), and sometimes people don't have time to go through all the emails, and just take special attention at mails directed at them personally. I use thunderbird like you and I have a filter to mark as "Personal" emails that have my address in the "To or CC" fields. This way, if I stop reading emails for a few days, when I get back, the first thing I do is just filter "Personal" emails to see if there are any messages directed at me personally. Then I can just browse the rest of the messages without paying too much attention. Another side effect is that this method speeds up conversations, where the people already involved in a thread receive emails directly without having to wait for the list server to dispatch its queue.
