And then do we create a list for those dealing with PHPCon, and one for
Linuxworld, and one for ... the one in Germany that Peter generally
organizes, and ... pretty soon, each lists traffic will be down to a
couple of messages a month and be pretty much useless, cause everyone that
is interested will subscribe to those lists also ...
What JoshB is effectively proposing, and what I am against, is moderating
the discussion on a list by creating a seperate list to move it to ...
instead of educating (and enforcing) the creating of seperate threads for
tangents to discussions, including changing the subjects so that ppl that
aren't interested in that thread don't have to do more then glance at the
subject ...
