I'd have to agree with Bob - creating those lists would mean more lists
to subscribe to if one is going to help people ... and one of those is
still going to have the majority of subscribers and people posting off-
charter questions. It's a nice idea, but it probably wouldn't reduce
the traffic on the main list.
