Hello,

I have noticed a dramatic increase of email volume for the last several
weeks.  My apologies if
I created some of that.  It seems like there are several categories of
email that are being sent.

I know originally this was intended to be a list for the problems of
compiling and installing Net/BSD
for the vax.  But it seems like the list is being the place of many
other aspects of vaxen as well.  It
is frustrating to wade through a list of 50 emails each morning and then
the titles don't match the
content so I don't care about say "TZ50's" and delete them, then I might
miss something important
that might be there.

I complained that there was not enough interaction last year, but this
seems like the other extreme.
I wonder if there is any merit towards creating sublists for things like
vax hardware and admin stuff
as distinct groups away from the nuts and bolts of compiling and
installing?

What do you all think?


Thanks


Andy
