splitting the list?
Hello all, Would it not be useful to split the mailing list in two parts, one for questions about Capi, another one for the rest? Dave, would this too much to ask? Francis

For me personally, that wouldn't be very useful. I'm interested in everything related to LispWorks, and I don't think we have an amount of traffic that's unbearable.

Any reason why you would want that? I'm not interrested in the many messages about Capi now (I don't read them but keep them for possible future use). 2 lists would made email filtering into 2 separate email boxes reliable. 2 boxes would make searches into emails more efficient.

Thank you for the suggestion (the second one :-) I already use Eudora and its powerful filtering system (I probably have about one hundred folders).

No, I don't think it's a good idea yet. There are just few posts every day... Regards Friedrich
