I'm definitely in favor of one list, and yes, list-serve ettiquette demands deleting everything except what is relevant to your post. Also, remembering to make the subject line actually reflect the discussion is key, although I'm not really happy to see discussions bifurcated when someone makes a

I would rather have a single list. I would also love to cut down on volume. But not by reducing the number of posts. By, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, reducing the SIZE of them. Too many people just do a "Reply", type what they want, and then press "Send". There is one other crucial step. Before pr

Two lists! Digests can get overwhelming, and imho if a person is less interested in choreography discussions they're more likely to "tune out" the list when choreography discussions overtake other topics. "Signal to noise ratio" is a good way of putting it. I would subscribe to both but i think hav

Hi Chris and All, If there was a separate choreography list, I'd want to be on it. Having a separate list might encourage dance writers to share more often. But what about questions about a particular non-new dance, or requesting ideas for an event? Does that get relegated to the cho

If we are going to post and vet new dances, I am quite certain a separate list would be preferable. Our little caller's group here in Missouri would alone double the word volume of the current list.
