[mod.ai] Proposed Split

kumthek@lsu.CSNET (Girish Kumthekar) (12/03/86)

I do support the idea of splitting the group(especially till people stop
abusing it by sending volumes on Searle & ugh .........). However I think
it may put more workload on Ken,and also may sometimes put him in a quandry
as to which group a message might belong.

Hope we can come up with a decent solution.

  [Actually, routing messages to appropriate lists has seldom been
  a problem -- but thanks for the thought.  As a theoretical issue,
  I agree with those who like to keep the digest flexible so that we
  can be stimulated by ideas outside our own subfields.  In practice,
  though, the digest has gotten a bit large for a volunteer moderator
  to handle (in addition to professional and familial duties).  I am
  worried that the Arpanet side of the list may collapse if I have
  give up this hobby.  Perhaps the rate of mailer problems and other
  administrative matters will decrease as the network adjusts to all
  the new conventions and hosts that have been added lately.  -- KIL]
