My opinion would be to not bother<br>for now. At present there is more<br>discussion of multiple lists than <br>discussion itself. If/when the current<br>list becomes bogged down with <br>meaningful entries it might be time to
<br>consider fragmenting the topics.<br><br>The point about people submitting items<br>for sale is probably a good case in point.<br>It comes up now and then that someone<br>wants to unload a PC component, or get<br>suggestions about a component for a
<br>project they are working on. It's not <br>Linux in any technical sense ( I guess - as<br>a group it was never really decided just<br>what Linux is.... ), but it doesn't really <br>bog the list down in any realistic way.
<br>Not enough to have to sit back and think<br>about what list category one's question <br>should go in, and then set off big flame <br>wars about whether one made the right <br>choice rather than discuss the issue at hand...
