I don't mind the bun fights or the biz talk. They are easily recognized and
don't need to be read if one chooses not to read them. I'm sure everyone
filters their Rev email. I can ream through several hundred posts, if need
be, in about 20 minutes because I only scan the subject line unless
We have seen a debate here about splitting the list various ways and
there are pros and cons for most everything.
One many lists there are conventions that posters follow that include
placing small category keywords in brackets before the subject line.
This can get out of control if everyone
A very sensible approach!
I second the suggestion.
Cheers

Like any healthy, growing community, Rev has spawned a good many SIGs --
most of them are listed on revJournal's Links page:

If I've missed any there drop me a note and I'll add it ASAP
I for one would hate to see this list stripped of its Revolutionary appeal
by limiting it only to discussions of rev users' technical problems. While
such technical problems may be the primary concern of this list, do they
really have to be it's only concern?
Remember just last month
I like this idea.
runrevforums.com is available. Forum software is easy to setup. I can
get the name and host it (with Runtime Revolution's blessing that is.)
No need to moderate (much.) If one wants it all pushed to them via
email, that's easy to do.
I must admit that I like getting the

By the way, I object slightly to M. Lange's use of the phrase
Yahoo Members only - as it implies that this is some sort of
exclusive club.
I am sorry, but yahoo groups are only accessible to yahoo group
members. That's a fact. I didn't imply anything. My reserves about

I am against splitting the list! We are a small community, and we need
to keep close together, or we won't get warm in this harsh world. If
this gets too warm for some, well maybe they should try to move to the
outer rim of the group. Only on mailing list(s) that is not possible

Hi Dave,
Excellent suggestion. Go for it. Don't wait for runrev blessings for
this or nothing will happen. You DON'T need their blessing (and
anyway they will never give it simply because this would be a very
bad management choice to encourage us to do so). phpBB is a good
choice. Far

My $0.04 on this whole thing is simple.
This community is too small as it is. Fragmenting it makes no sense. As
several people have said, it doesn't take much effort or intelligence to
filter the list.
I like the idea of subject prefixes but every time it's been proposed here
it's fallen on deaf
