I also disagree with the proposal for
two separate lists and agree with Bob's
suggestion that, when the dialog becomes
almost exclusively a regular exchange
between 2 or 3 people, then it is
appropriate to make the dialog private
between those individuals.

I don't mind off-topic discussions,
especially those of a technical nature,
but I think the thread "International Law"
has really gotten tedious and should have
been made private long ago.  (I'm even
going to resist the temptation to say
which participant I agree with. :oP  )
