Well, I'm one of the offenders, and I quite disagree with splitting the
list up. I like to keep track of what's going on (even though I sometimes
forget what the answers are) and I subscribe to a half-dozen netbsd
groups. This would just mean I'd have to subscribe to even more. What's
the use in that?

When I'm pressed for time, I just read the subject lines and delete
messages without reading them. The mac68k list is NOT that heavily
trafficked.

Besides reading other people's problems will help you when one of your
friends ask you "Hey, will unix work on my Performa Double-Plus-Good?"
