Hi, > I think it would be more effective to split the list into sublists.
there are plenty of discussion list host-sites around. Everybody is entirely free to start a list on any subject they choose, and invite others to join them. But consider this: If you start a list, or a sublist, with a very specific subject matter then it is either moderated or unmoderated. If it is unmoderated, as this one essentially is, then you have no way of making people stick to the subject or do what you want, so chances are it would end up like this one, and you'd be back where you started. If it is moderated then it needs a moderator. If you want to be the moderator then you will end up with more work than you're trying to avoid, so you'll be worse off. If you want someone else to be the moderator then you're just trying to shove the responsibility for managing your inbox onto someone else. The same considerations apply to policing obscure codes in subject lines. I get exactly the same PDML mail as everybody else, I believe. Managing the inbox takes me about 30 seconds a day. If it takes you longer than that perhaps you should consider a different mail client. -- Cheers, Bob
