Actually...I think Nathan makes a couples of great points.  I know that
programming questions don't really interest me...nor do some other topics
that pop up.  As well, I  have noticed that the list seems to be getting a
bit clogged up with a lot of questions that seem to drift a bit and end up
crossing over different areas.  I average about 30 e-mails a day or more and
most of them I find I delete.

I think it would be helpful if we set a few lists and then have people
subscribe as per interest.  I would suggest the following, but I am sure
there are others:
* CLUG-Talk: General Q&A's
* Programming: Programming/Development related items
* Events: Meeting Planning, *fest's, Conference (Convergence, etc.)
planning.
* Off-Topic: Non-Linux, MS, Mac, and other related items.
* Hardware: Hardware related issues.
* Classified: Items for sale or jobs.
* Discussion: Specific topics (security, communication, DNS, etc.)

The reason I would suggest these, is that we may be small now, but as we
grow it is easier to be proactive and do the leg work now instead of trying
to change it when we get to big.  Sort of like trying to move an elephant by
blowing through a straw. :-)
