I can't argue with that... but a counter argument is that merging lists would significantly increase the traffic on -general would may not be appreciated by the many people that are only subscribed to one or two of the affected lists. I would wager that the majority of people aren't subscribed to more than a small number of the available lists. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

That's actually something we can easily find out, if we can get a list of the subscribers emails into a Real Database. I know this bunch of database geeks who write strange "ess-cue-ell kweriis", or whatever they call it, to make such analysis... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Consolidating multiple mailing lists to increase viewership of certain messages is only going to work if everyone who now follows each of the smaller mailing lists does an equally good job following the bigger one. That doesn't seem like a safe assumption. I might be able to buy an argument that -admin is too fuzzy to be readily distinguishable, although I don't really know since I don't read it. But -performance seems to have a fairly well-defined charter and it's a subset of messages I enjoy reading. Of course if some performance questions get posted elsewhere, yeah, I'll miss them, but oh well: reading every message on every topic hasn't seemed like a good way to address that problem. ....Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
