Five lists? Surely what we have is quite sufficient? Syd Hancock says he is not subscribed to `Social', unless you can read them all how do you know that you haven't missed something? Whilst the more esoteric discussions go completely over my head I have a suspicion that I may actually be learning something, even if I don't know what it is.
I already have the daily digests in order to ensure that I don't miss anything, five lists mean I've got to subscribe to, and read five lists. If we had more than we do at present there would need to be a link on each to point to matters we might need to read on the others.
I am of the opinion that things are fine as they are at the moment, after all it wasn't so long ago that the daily list was down to one or two articles, and the main discussion was on the quality of written English, spelling and grammar.

My 2p worth `Main' for general ALUG/Linux/help and related, `Announce' as it is now, Social for off topic stuff and maybe a new list `hackers' for stuff like the recent `XSL Formatting Objects Question - Setting Document Defaults' thread and suchlike. But I'm reluctant to put my full weight of opinion behind another list because I feel we are pretty much OK at the moment.
Cheers, BJ
