The funny thing is, the party itself has generated no traffic aside from my original notice about it. This whole thread largely consists of complaints about the fact that no-one's set something up in Detroit, and so I think most of the contributors to it wouldn't move to a separate list to continue that discussion.
I think that splitting the list up into several groups isn't really the best thing. The next step would be to have a separate list for Movement, for radio shows, for Chicago events, Berlin events, etc etc. If the party here in London was generating loads of traffic in and of itself, then fair enough, but it actually isn't.
