My firm believe is that we can easily combine the US and Canada on one list, the question is what would that list name be. I really do not want to alienate any of the Canadian list members by calling it [email protected] if there would be any concern from the Canadian members.
If we do go with that I guess at some point when the Canadian and US marketing teams grow we can always split Canada out. If everyone is in agreement I would like to see this list soon.
