Wanna The problem is that they are too many, and some are overlapping. As an example, -hackers in my mind covers many of the specialized lists (-arch, -fs, etc.). I don't believe it's wise to add a new list for each part of the system (or we should have -samba, -tcpip, -nfs, -video...). Probably it would be not a bad idea to try to reduce the number of lists to a manageable number, otherwise people will keep using the most popular ones (-questions, -current, -hackers...). I am often in doubt on which list to use, and I end up with either -hackers or -questions Luigi ==================================================================== Luigi Rizzo Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ ====================================================================
