I think I am gonna start an Acle splinter group! Any one with me?
As someone who works in Suffolk and lives in Norfolk, and who has to pass the border guards twice a day, I would be able to travel either meets but would only like to subscribe to one list, have enough email rules to deal with, sorry to be a spanner in the works.
Thanks
Michael

If I setup an Ipswich-only one then people have the choice of subscribing to both, whereas if we only use the ALUG one then it's required that all new Ipswich members sign up to what might end up being quite a busy list which contains news for the whole of East Anglia (not much fun for those who can't travel) .
I feel that the main list could do with being busier, I can't see the extra traffic from Ipswich members being anything other than a good thing.
I mean perhaps later if the traffic got so high that it was impossible to follow a particular discussion thread then it could be revisited and a split considered.
I can't see why Ipswich specific news would be an annoyance to those from Norfolk who can't travel (or haven't got the papers to pass the Suffolk border patrol :-) ) I mean if there is a thread relating to an Ipswich kit meet they can't make then they only have to ignore those messages, it's not like you are forced to read each one.
