True game theorists generally don't want to delve into the world of applied economics. Some environmental economists recognize that game theory can be useful in addressing environmental issues. Anyone who has read serious articles applying game theory to environmental economics has probably also seen a commentary or two written by a true game theorist disproving the existence of the original author's Nash equilibria, etc. And is therefore a little gun shy. If nothing else Patrick Chung was brave in sending out his fishery article.
Most lists are lame.
I often wonder why I bother subscribing, and I have had other discussions with economists about why the Ecological Economics, Resecon, etc. It is too easy to do such an act anonymously.

Most people aren't interested and downloading large e-mail messages takes up time.
