And the other thing I can we can agree on, is that not enough time is spent in the PPL curriculum (both initial and recurrent training), on the way NOTAMs are structured, generated, submitted, stored and promulgated, and the way you can selectively retrieve them via the internet.
As others have said, if you do a narrow route briefing on the AIS website, or smartly use any of the other tools that are available on the internet, the list of NOTAMs that you have to wade through is relatively small. But you have to know how to use these tools smartly, and that requires a little knowledge about what the contents of a NOTAM actually is (including the non-textual lines) and how a computer uses that information to filter out the NOTAMs that are relevant to you.
