It's generic lists are more suited to, as you pointed out LUG's and social groups - this is a fairly product/ platform centric list. Besides, talking about the platform it would be hard to say that this is a very narrow focused list. the ppc-on-cell-bootloader list might fit that mould quite well, I dont think the CentOS list does. > amazing how many times I learn something useful that I never > would have seen on a restricted list (e.g. I learned about the > Mac RSS reader NetNewsWire on a local Linux group list). Its more than a bit disheartening to see this list compared to a LUG effort :( > If a topic is uninteresting, ctrl-d with mutt on the thread nukes > it quickly. Thats looking at things, much like many others did, from a personal perspective and not one of the project / list admins. I might want the list to go in a specific way, but that may or may not be what's good for the longer term health of the list. - KB
