I'm subscribed to all ideas coming in on brainstorm. It's not much - 
comparable to what we get as feature requests still on bugzilla.

The point is not to get the number of votes, but to get the downvotes. I am 
not aware that I ever implemented an idea. So the number of bad ideas is way 
higher than the number of good ones. That's the key to the success. If we want 
to have useable feature requests we need to get rid off the useless ones.
