The trouble is not with the traffic volume, but with content. The post quoted by Eric ``88 Consulting'' required carefull reading to understand whether a job is offered or wanted. The two sides are totally opposite -- either separate subject prefixes, or mailing list split is warranted. The low traffic argument alone is flawed -- it can justify combining together, say, freebsd-cooking, freebsd-astronomy, and freebsd-scuba -- totally unrelated, but all very low traffic (presumably -- what do I know?). And even if all the current subscribers promise to make their future postings explicitly titled, there is no way to ensure that from the future posters... Although I don't feel STRONGLY either way, my vote remains: "Split 'em". -mi > Kees Jan >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Eric Hall [mailto:freebsd@ghosthound.net] >> Sent: donderdag 14 maart 2002 6:46 >> To: freebsd-jobs@FreeBSD.ORG >> Subject: Re: 88 Consulting -- *BSD-based server solutions >> >> >> On Wed, Mar 13, 2002 at 03:42:29PM +0100, Julian Stacey wrote: >> [snip] >> > >> > What do others think ? >> > - Yes, Split. >> > - No, Do not split. >> > Replies to <freebsd-jobs@FreeBSD.ORG> please. >> > >> [snip] >> >> No to the split.
