[Asterisk-Users] list proposal

[WipeOut .]

My concern with wanting to split the list into so many mini-lists is that some will die from lack of membership and it will mean that people with problems in that area will be left in the cold.. Similar to how so many news groups just sit there unused now days..

If there is really a need to split the list into so many components then somthing like phpbb may be better so that there is no management of list membership..

I know the topic of a BB style system has come up before and many did not like the idea but if one or two mailing lists become 10+ then mailing lists can become a headache to look after where a BB system will do it all for you.. especually the poor "MS Outbreak" users.. :)

Just my thoughts...
