Hmmm, I thought this suggestion would come up sooner or later. My understanding is that the value people get out of ccp4bb is that their questions reach the whole community. Splitting up ccp4bb will dilute that benefit. We will never get a service that everyone likes, but my feeling is that most people are happy most of the time. Regarding missing posts: subscribers should use informative subject lines, so that readers can decide quickly between read and delete. If subscribers omit a Subject, or use a misleading one, then they only have themselves to blame if their messages are ignored.
