Personally I prefer the more general lists rather than splitting off into a bunch of more specific ones. I often learn things by reading messages that I would see on more targeted lists. The more general lists also seem more likely to engender a feeling of community (the linux-sxs.org nee Caldera list is a case in point). Perhaps my viewpoint is a bit skewed since I use an e-mail program, mutt, that makes it very easy to see articles by thread, and to delete everything in a thread with a single ctrl-D. I use Thunderbird on occassion to read messages where I know they are likely to be HTML and have long links to click, but GUIs are far too slow and cumbersome to deal with hundreds of messages a day, particularly in my postmaster and security folders which may go to thousands of messages in the morning.
