I think it's vain and counter-productive to sub-divide this rivulet of email traffic. To me, the simplicity of fewer lists is a feature worth the cost of getting a few messages that I don't care about. I care about the CLUEbies behind the messages and that's enough, for me.

I recommend the following list setup:

1. clue-tech - anything vaguely related to linux or free software
including job opportunities. I for one don't even care if a cluebie
needs help with Windows stuff. You never know when you can develop a
convert by politely offering your expertise.
2. clue-talk - all OT stuff, flame wars, religion, politics etc.
3. clue-admin - for topics related to admining the sites
4. clue-announce - I don;t care one way or the other. I've never
subscribed. If this is of value, someone can speak up.
5. clue-jobs - fagedaboutit.

My $.01 (probably not up to the usual $.02).
Those who care can vote or provide another proposal or vote for
maintaining the current rigid setup.
