Re: [Proposal] Thread Topic Identification (was [BS] Are we getting o ff the topic)

[Cliff Rowley <cl...@onsea.net>]

It's a good idea, but in practice I think it's going to be a hassle,
especially if this list grows.  Those who are filtering will have to go
through the rigmarole of setting them up again should they have to
reinstall their client.  And new users will also have to start
filtering, and I can foresee lots of posts in the future informing
people of the use of filters etc.

I think it would be a whole lot less hassle to keep a core struts
mailing list, and move off-topic discussions to another list -
'struts-related' or something.  It doesn't seem fair to force those not
interested in the other stuff to take measures to filter it when they're
not even a part of it in the first place :)
