[OpenID] Condensing Some Mailing Lists?

[Peter Williams]

Let people congregate where it "works"

No email posted to general should take more the 10s a paragraph to read. That's all its worth, being a general discussion.

IMHO: While these topics are heavily discussed on general, it would be
great to have them over on a targeted list to reduce the traffic on
general and allow people that care about those topics to follow them
more closely,

Assuming that is what works for the community, some polite coaching
can make it happen.

Changing the subject line as the subject of the thread changes would
be another good practice to encourage.
