I kinda have to agree with Peter on this ... I'll create the other list if
needed, but fear it will have a negative effect by splitting things up too
much ... if ppl were to make sure that they change the subject if a
tangent happens, then those that aren't interested can avoid it, but there
really isn't *that* much traffic here, IMHO, to warrant "yet another list"
