Re: eRPG mailing list (was; Future fo AS/400?? )

Make that 50 to 3. I agree with Rob and Martin! Are the rest of you going to
stop subscribing to RPG400-L? Do you have some problem with figuring out if
a given question is for e-RPG or not? Will it somehow help you to have e-RPG
emails in one folder and all other RPG emails in another? Will all the
closet e-RPG programmers suddenly feel free to ask questions about e-RPG if
it's in a separate list? In other words, what's the point of a separate
list?
