Gents, questions not being answered is not and issue with not having enough lists. This would only be a problem if we had too many messages on the list (which I don't believe anyone is claiming). Further we've discovered some technical issues with splitting the lists, which puts this issue to rest for now. Once we reach 600 members we'll revisit this topic.

The -1 I previously gave was more like a -0.2, so feel free to ignore it :) _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/ _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/
