I think that all the people whining about this mailing list having too many
threads, and how it should be split, and so on, should register for a week
to the linux-kernel mailing list. After you get 150 messages per day, every
day, in a single mailing list, with dozens of completely different threads
going on in the same time, lin-club will look to you like a deserted mailing
list...

What do you gain from opening a mailing list for a short-lived project that
is probably not ever going to have more than 100 messages total, and not more
than 4 subscribers? Projects should have their own mailing list once many
people are involved in developing and/or using them, and there is no
correlation any more between the people interested in the project and the
people in the original mailing list. I don't think R2L has come to this point
yet.
