Chuck,
Could you easily categorize each of the threads that has been posted in the last two weeks?

For the most part, I believe so.  If a message starts with "I was rereading Caesar's Commentaries last night", I'll bet there's a discussion (or a movie) about to ensure.  And if the message starts "I'm trying to get this Fileman search to. . .", it's usually a plea for help.  I know it's not 100%.

  Would you categorize all messages from newbies learning to install and use VistA and messages from programmers encountering bugs in their own Mumps code as support?
 
Yes.  And I know that many threads that start as a request for help degrade into discussion.
 
Would there be a problem with two lists?

Subject: [Hardhats-members] Please Consider Splitting the Hardhats List


[I place this out in front of everyone so that everyone knows where  it came from.]

I would like to formally request of the powers that be to please  consider splitting this list into two lists:  Hardhats-Discussion and Hardhats-Support.  Hopefully the two new lists could both be seeded  with the members of the original Hardhats-members list.  In this way,  no one would miss a message.  And members could then opt out of  either list as they see fit.

I'm not looking to deter any discussion and I do not believe  splitting the list would do so.  Straight up, though, I would like to  be able to divert the messages from the new lists to separate  folders, and I would be checking one of those folders far more than  the other.

Thanks,
Chuck
