For the majority of posting on this list, however, I think that we do not
see this. It does not appear to be as big as a problem as I've seen on
other lists.
I think a more practical solution would be to have this rule apply to the
current mailing list. I would like to avoid "forking" the list. The
reasons are simple.
1. Those only subscribed to one list risk missing ideas/solutions/etc
presented in another.
2. Those subscribed to both lists risk receiving redundant information.
If it's not splitting up a mailing list into different subjects to lower
traffic or provide more specialized topics then it is generally a bad
idea.
