I know I've stated this in the past, but my concern is that too many
people will subscribe to clug-tech, and unsubscribe from clug-talk. We
now have 7 mailing lists, and 4 web forums. How many people do we have
in this group now? The problem is that if we fracture the group enough,
it will be really hard to get our questions answered. We may have the
knowledge in the group, but those people may not be monitoring the forum
or list that we post to. The way to get around this is to cross-post,
but then people won't want to be signed up to multiple lists, because
they'll get too many duplicates.

Sorry, but I'm boycotting clug-tech for now. I hope others do the same.
