I think that this is a discussion that _should_ belong on the list. I have
interest in such discussions and should not have to belong to another list.
If this becomes a reality then it certianly should be another list. But in
the mean time... this list reaches a great many people that are interested
in such a suggestion.... so the good of the many outweighs the good of the
few ( or the one )... besides how hard is it to hit the 'd' key when you see
the subject line ( that states it in obvious terms so that you do not even
have to read the whole mail ) says BSD Consortium.

This is a bad thing.... this is the whole reason of having a mailing list...
is to discuss such monthly issues. Besides ... who is going to subscribe to
a list that is by it's very definition going to be cruft? No one... and so
good ideas and issues will be lost to the whole.

It is not boring for all of us and certianly not " lots of us" as the replies
should have shown you.
