Once again you are referring to the CentOS forum. Are you saying that the forums are fragmented and therefore "not good for the community" ??? What is your point? By the way, you have not answered my earlier inquiry:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-October/066494.html
This is my own personal view based on :-
- the differences between the fedora and centos forum
- (the lack of) participation of known members in the
community in the centos forum as compared to fedora.
- some may not view the centos forum as fragmented
but is the participation at the same level as the unfragmented mailing list?

Thanks for your reply. I wanted to know why you referred to the CentOS forums in relation to the subject of splitting the mailing list.
I can go on with my response to your personal view, but doing so would be way off-topic here in this thread. Therefore, I started an open discussion session in the right place for this topic - not surprisingly - in the CentOS forum:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id...
So, people who are interested, please join in and post your comments and thoughts.
Thanks,
