We need auto-pruning. :-) I think auto-pruning of addresses that are in the mailing list is a good idea. It takes longer to get a reply if it has to go through the list but if the discussion is in the list then it makes more sense to not have a fast track conversation take place. If you need that fastrack take it off the list. I'm not so sure about the multiple list thing. It's not clear cut that only one list is always appropriate and you have to rely on user judgmement to not spam lots of lists. Particularly for the more specific groups there are times when two lists would be appropriate. Even for hackers and current they are disparate lists, I'm only on -current, some are only on hackers, there are occasionally discussions that should involve both sets of users. I agree this is a rare situation but I'm uncertain about disabling the ability to send to multiple lists. > I don't have a problem with long cc lines.
