Maybe in the past the practice of having two "dedicated" mailing lists worked and served their purpose, but these days I don't see it working as intended. The community has already evolved from what some of us may have been used to during the end of the 20th century, and I think it's for the best interest of everyone that we evolve also our treatment to the mailing lists. Personally I'd like to see a unified technically-oriented mailing list that would serve its purpose well. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED]
