I don't quite agree with this, because -general is *already* at the level where it takes a significant chunk of daily time to keep up with it. All the other mergeable lists pale in comparison to its volume. I stopped trying to read lists completely a time ago, and merely read subject lines at this point, diving into ones that seem interesting or important. Merging the smaller lists that have a huge overlap of topics with -general already would thus be a win, as there would be a larger audience to reply to, and less lists to administer and have people keep track of. It would also reduce the confusion of "which list should I post this to?" I think -admin should absolutely be folded in, -sql really should as well, and slightly less so -performance and -interfaces. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201004081214 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAku+AV0ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsgVvgCbBh9vsx2cecfAhZQRmju4Vtyi zz0An0OjXFGtAtOyTUZFDDWGxrRZltBB =gDQ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
