[net.ham-radio] To split or not to split

jhs%Mitre-Bedford@sri-unix.UUCP (10/03/84)

Thanks to rshapiro for the technical clarification on what's involved in
splitting up mailing lists, and for some refreshingly clear and unemotional
arguments as well.

Based on your comments, change my vote to "don't fix it".

Maybe if we all try to make our "Subject:" lines as informative as possible,
this will help people to identify what is of interest and what is not.

Also, maybe there should be some policy discouraging general posting of
big files.  If someone has a complete compendium of all DX contest scores
since time immoral, maybe he/she could just announce its availability on the
net instead of posting it to all of us whether we care or not.

						73 to all,
