If splitting starts, then it will also reflect on the lug meets. We will be creating exclusive zones instead of being all inclusive, a fundamental feature of FOSS vis a vis commercial closed software.

who is talking about splitting? all you need to do is have an additional mailing list - say 'installation and hardware' and call this a general mailing list. 90% of members will join both. if you look at http://linuxchix.org you will see what i mean. This will be a way of organising content in a more rational way. Me thinks some people are thinking of a 'newbie' list where newbies go, and after they past some test, get promoted to the the 'real' list.
