I could easily go along with the notion of splitting into two mailing lists... I personally just don't use uucp these days, but hey, knowing it's there helps. Maybe some traffic will generate more, who knows? Maybe the newsgroup will be where linux happens, and this list is where opinions will go. That'd be a shame <g> Seriously, I think it's realistic to allow for a mail or list server to go up & down on occasion, just cache the messages on a backup and resume the numbering, or hey just kill the numbers. In our DB-driven world, I could do without ever seeing arbitrary indices on the surface of reality.... Most of the other lists I'm on do use a [listname] prefix on the subject line, but ours is the only indexed one. No worries, I just ignore it, but I never use it. The list itself, though, I think, MUST SURVIVE. Jamie, how's management of it treating you? I think if we knew what we [collectively] wanted, your job with it would be much easier! btw, I think duality rox and that is a major reason two lists work for me, so eat that grain of salt if you have not already. Finally, sorry for my subject line; I do not wish to imply that uucp exists as an opinion -- I have used it and it is real... I suppose google ate uucp in a way. Sweet dreams, fellow pengeekuins!
