Hi I do not think it is necessary to create a separate list. I find that different lists evolve differently. Eventually the two are not compatable and they lose the influence they have over the other. Also, new members might tend to subscribe to only one group but don't realise about the existence of the other. Rather classify mail within a single list. That way members can always change their options at a later date. It also offers more flexibility within a single list than do two (or more lists). As time goes by the list owner can always introduce new categories. Using the multi-list approach it is necessary to introduce whole lists. I belong to a list (•••@••.•••) which uses this approach. Each piece of mail is coded in the subject line as TECH, EXERCISE, SUBS etc or whatever the case may be. When one subscribes one can set various options so that you can get certain mail but not others. In this way members can personalise which mails they do and do not receive. I think a similar approach would work wonders for the cj. Here are some ideas for possible categories: EDS: editorial stuff from RKM SUBS: submissions and articles from others on the list POSTS: official posts from RKM CHAT: comments, replies and stuff from other list members. I was going to unsubscribe from ppi today because I didn't like the new format as much as the old one. However, I think I will re-subscribe and see what happens. If you introduce the system above I think I will stay around. thanks mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark de Vos freelance writer •••@••.••• thanks
