We know from experience that doesn't work. People just end up crossposting, because they're not sure people are on both lists. And then you want to move a discussion, which just means you have to CC in both lists, leading to even more duplication. If there was a clear distinction between end-user and dev it might make sense. That how commercial software companies tend to work - don't let devs talk to end users. That's not how we work. Forcing people to look in different places just throws hurdles in front of those trying to help out. --=20 Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
