The point here is that it's for *this* group's mmembers mainly. this approach is taken by a number of mailing lists so they have companion lists so that people who dont' want to read a lot of extraneous posts, like this one your'e reading now, <smile> can subscribe to the more focused list, and others may sub to the more general OT list but still be plugged into the similar topic / line of discussion?... Does this make sense?...
