Sounded good to me in principle. However, after taking a closer look at the proposed categories, and looking at recent traffic, I don't think it would achieve much: I think at least 95% (by thread) of existing messages would belong on the new 'slim-technical' list. Even adding "slim-hippophile" wouldn't shave off enough. We could suggest that people use more tags in the subject line - eg "[audiophile]" for any message containing the word "DAC", or written by someone who knows what it means - but realistically we all know that threads morph. I agree that this list is currently on the edge of usability because it has so much traffic - but I don't think this split, at least, will work. And I can't come up with a better proposed split.
