I am reading these mail issues with country-language-topics. This is only an idea and maybe sure someone already explored it. We can add our favorite languange-country before the topic to the subject in the list we are subscribed. So anyone which is not interested on that country or language convesation can filter them easily. The cons is people could forget to write it that way. the good stuff is there is no more mailing list to manage than we already have and we want to step in other country or language because we find something we can contribute or learn from it will be easy to read with only one subscription.
