We have [email protected] for talking about current events, conferences, and so on. Why subdivide it? Did we not learn anything from the Usenet newsgroups name wars? More groups does not solve anything; to "compromise" of creating more groups rather than coming up with one good group is the path to disaster. We periodically discuss disaster recovery issues when the natural disaster of the monthly pops up, should we create a mailing list just for that? What about the monthly debate about certification? vi vs. emacs? how different computers were back in [insert year you got started]? If there are 1000 important problems that LOPSA should be working to fix, this isn't one of them. Tom -- See you in Boston!
