Your reason for keeping RPG on one list, is the reason I think e-RPG should
be on a separate list. There is already a ton of
messages and lists to wade thru. By separating e-RPG and SQL-RPG from the
RPG400 list, it would help cut down the number of
messages for those readers who do not care for e-RPG or SQL-RPG, etc. And
for those readers interested in every aspect of RPG, they
really should not mind subscribing to a few more lists. I sub to three
lists and have all the messages dump into one queue for
easier access. This is just my $0.02.

I cannot help but ask, in the Southern US vernacular, "whuuuuuuuuut"? Until
this (these?) subject came up, this list was more dead than Oliver Cromwell.
RPG400-L has probably received more postings in the past month than it has in
the past _YEAR_. Perhaps the last _three_ years combined. Have you actually
_READ_ anything posted here? There _IS NO_ e-RPG, and if you wish to exclude
SQLRPG from your repetoire then _YOU_ are going to be the one "flipping
burgers" rather than those that don't learn JAVA.

"Cut down on the number of messages"? From _WHAT_? ZERO? Unless you're
prepared to sacrifice the time to moderate these various lists yourself, I'd
suggest that you satisfy yourself with the fact that RPG400-L remains mostly
dormant...
