That's the feeing I get. Anyone that has been on the list for ages is
just going to subscribe to them all because they don't want to miss out on anything.
Any newbies will subscribe to say slug-questions for a few months and
will end up finding out there are all these cool in depth discussions, where they
could be learnging
something, happening on slug-l33t. So they'll join that.
Then after going to a couple of slug meetings they'll meet a lot of people
make friends
and then work out that everyone they now know whinges about non-linux stuff on
slug-spam and because
this is a peer group and they are intereseted about what like minded indivduals think
about other
thigs besides linux they'll go and join that too.
Ok maybe that's pushing logic a bit far but it's a fairly fair assumption.
