Excuse me, but since when is the list "ours" (the community?) The list IMO is 
FOR the community, and I strongly believe it will much better suit it's needs 
by removing ubuntu-overal discussion (like "has windows bee replaced", 
or "ubuntu is not free", god help us). 

Did gmail asked anyone if they wanted another 1.5gig per account? Did they 
need to ask anything about it?

If you want to contribute with that kind of thread, I could simply subscribe 
to both lists. There is no need to make them all the same.
