On the other hand, the initial claim that 13 unwanted threads in a month is plenty of traffic to justify a different alias is also false. Unless I'm missing a lot of mail, pkg-discuss averaged about 10 messages a day through January and February. The lists that benefited from the dev/user split resulted in lists that averaged closer to 50 a day in each list after the split. It's to early to pull the developers into a separate list. On the other hand, it might not be to early to pull the *code* discussion into a separate list. I.e. - a pkg-code list whose charter restricts it to code review threads and pullback messages? <mike -- Mike Meyer <[email protected]> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
