This is a very viable solution. I think you are right. The two
discussions should be separated to avoid more people feeling like you
do. And this way we can avoid, hopefully, losing people we can ill
afford to lose. I think a new list for those who want to discuss
strategy and structure is best. There are too many threads and
subscribers to this list to ask them to move. The people who want to be
part of the strategy discussions is a much smaller number and it would
be more efficient if they were the ones who had to subscribe to the new
list.
