This argument is flawed, because it's based on the assumption that you split lists to separate content. You don't - you split lists to get messages you don't want to read out of peoples faces. There's not enough traffic I don't want to read to warrant that. Worse yet, I'm liable to subscribe to them both in either case. One list will have things to investigate, and the other will have potential competitors for those things, both of which are of interest. That makes the split a negative one for me, as I'd then have to subscribe to both lists. > And even if all the current subscribers promise to make their future > postings explicitly titled, there is no way to ensure that from the > future posters... It's been suggested the list be moderated. I second that, and volunteer to be the moderator. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
