I could easily enough split things such that I duplicate the subscriber list, so nobody would have to subscribe, but it would make it easier for ppl to filter their incoming ... ? Not sure where the split would be, mind you ... almost thinking about patch review / discussions vs hashing out new features or something like that ... Just a thought ... ---- Marc G.
