Here's a simple description of how i use and see the -hackers list. I'm what you could call a "silent reader", like many other subscribers i don't participate to the discussions but i'm happy to be able to follow them. I'm not an end-user and i'm not a developper. Just a guy that wants to follow the "making-of" this project. Sure the traffic is huge and sometimes i have thousands of unread messages. But somewhat i managed to follow the threads i'm interested in and leave asides others... If this list is split in two smaller ones, then i guess i'll follow both and it won't help me in any way. I guess it would even make things more difficult to understand. This is my modest experience. Clearly things can be improved, but speaking for myself i don't think that splitting the list is a good idea. -- damien clochard http://www.dalibo.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
