I vote for NO. I don't believe anyone will benefit from splitting the list, although categories not specified yet. It will turn the list into that of motorola's, not many audience. If we have sources and app. sublists as suggested, many people will subscribe to both. For most only difference will be that some messages posted twice increasing the incoming mail. IMHO, this will not help to get rid off [OT] which I find useful myself. Unsubscribe email requests will still be there. For beginners repeating same questions, if you have a newbee list not many people will listen it and it may shortly become useless and die out. Then we may see the same newbee questions distributed into multiple pic sublists. I think we may worsen the case by splitting the list. Aydin PS: I see that there many PIC FAQs around. Is it possible to have single unified official :) PIC FAQ residing on a web page and pointed out regularly on the list for newcomers, including the etiquette, do's and don'ts?
