I believe the list is so big that many of us are loosing some interesting threads. May be the admins can split the users list in some more specific sub-lists, and the people who wants to receive all the messages can subscribe to the sublists, or have a digest for someones, etc. Regards -- Pablo Povarchik Quality Colocation and Dedicated Servers services Colocation facilities include Fremont California, London UK and Trento Italy +------- FuturaHost.Com - Industrial & Business Class ISP --------+ | Web Hosting - Dedicated Servers - Colocation | info@futurahost.com - http://futurahost.com/ - (+39) 0461 592710 | Get a high quality full cabinet with 5Mbps full burst included | for only ?700/month, availability also in London +-----------------------------------------------------------------+

You'll also find that some Muppets will post their questions to multiple lists, instead of finding a specific list to use, or will judge that their question/comment has relevance in multiple lists. For instance, how many Asterisk veterans are likely to hang out on asterisk-newbies so that they can answer the same FAQ question every ten minutes, and how many Asterisk users are going to post their questions to the newbie list when they find that there are no experts there? People already post and/or duplicate end-user questions to the developers' list as it is. Splitting up the mail lists will most likely result in more bandwidth use for most people - not less. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ kevin@cursor.biz _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/
Hello "You'll find that many people will want to be subscribed to all of the mail lists - just in case something interesting is said or asked. You'll also find that some Muppets will post their questions to multiple lists, instead of finding a specific list to use, or will judge that their question/comment has relevance in multiple lists.

I believe time is more precious than bandwidth. I also believe that experts answering in the "newbies" branch are welcome I also think that people who want to be subscribed to many or all sublists, are also welcomed Yes, newbies tends to post on more than one lists, but they learn fast about that, specially if they are teached by those who are subscribed in more than one list.

So? Anyone wanting to split the list in more parts? Yes and no would suffice, so we can close this without a talk long a year, and without someones forcing their point of view to others.
