Hi,

Or to put it another way.

A person joining their first mailing list in this the era of the forum
may not see the way forward.
They may not know of the existence of the "other place", to use a term
of art exceedingly similar to one used in the Houses of Parliament in
Westminster in the UK.

Therefore their ability to deal with over a hundred messages a day is
pretty astounding. The fact they manage to get their mail out only to
be bitten in half by some comment referring to the sounder mailing list.
Perhaps if there was a url that explained that Users contained X and
Sounder contained Y, and this discussion would be better on list Z
where Z = X||Y as required.

While the break was always clear in my mind once I knew the two lists
existed, keep in mind that some people are are on the forums and the
division is not as obvious.

Regards,

Paul
