Re: List traffic

My thought had been a split along the lines of major components of the
server ... for instance, a totally seperate list for HS related issues, so
that, if nothing else, those 'lurkers' that are only interested in

-hackers ... almost like seperate working groups ...

Twas just a thought ...
