This is IMHO the best solution for a lot of reasons:
1. With many providers/client_softwares, you cannot ignore
a mail without downloading and deleting it. This makes it
hard to ignore a thread which one is not interested in.
OTOH, ignoring a news posting is trivial.
2. The decision problem (high volume list without the important
people or having to hesitate before every article) goes away.
3. There is no human work needed to maintain a group once it exists.
Maybe one should inform the people on c.l.f about the creation of
c.l.h, so that the language-specific stuff can come over and c.l.f
cares about pure science.
Technical question: Are there people *writing* to this list without
being subscribed? I very often see other people answering with
header lines like
"To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
The first of these addresses would be redundant if there were no such
participants.
