I must admit, I have a bunch of abstract math questions I'd like answers 
to, and the people round here seem like the kind of folks who might know 
the answers. But this has nothing at all to do with Haskell, so Cafe 
doesn't seem like a good place to ask...

I thought this too.  But, I think that haskell-cafe is high traffic, 
whereas people subscribe just to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when they just want 
announcements and HWN (which has been awesome lately, by the way).


But I think a discussion e.g. about providing medical treatment to 
prisoners of war might benefit both haskell-cafe and the discussion itself 
to be on another list.


Especially as the community is growing rapidly, it might benefit from 
having an outlet for all of this energy.


I think just putting a little note beside the mailing list high traffic 
as opposed to off topic before you get to the subscribe step would 
suffice, without needing to change names.
