I have seen a handful in my years here, but your point is indeed valid. However, i believe the whole idea of having more than one mailing list is folly anyway. Why? Case in point: this thread! We have a person who is not sure which list to post a question, meanwhile the question "in question" remains unanswered. Many lists employ title tags that help to give a hint of who should answer. like: [newbie] How to assign variables? [first timer] Why is Python Zen violated by stdlib? Or even the ever-present "Help: blah blah blah?" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
