How > useful is to filter on the "pgsql-general" label? That is a point, but, IMHO, that is one of our key issues ... we *allow* that sort of cross-posting in the first place ... FreeBSD lists allow cross-posting to no more then 2 mailing lists, I believe, but there is definitely a limit ... ... is there a reason why, other the fact that we don't do now, that we can't just put in a restriction against cross posting altogether? ... and, for those that have been here awhile, who "should know better", why isn't there any self-management of this sort of stuff in the first place? ---- Marc G.
