X-Message-Number: 11861 Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 21:43:53 -0400 (EDT) From: "Kevin Q. Brown" <> Subject: Splitting CryoNet? In Message # 11822 Perry Metzger proposed splitting CryoNet into two lists to separate the philosophy from the science/technology oriented messages. This apparently has been on the minds of other people, too, since his proposal generated several responses. My solution to that is that same as it was four years ago in messages # 4365 and 4847: Another approach would be for someone to offer a filtered version of CryoNet, to which interested people could subscribe. That list could take the entire CryoNet feed as input and distribute only those messages that satisfy the criteria of the editor. My only request is to have all _replies_ sent to CryoNet rather than just to the filtered list so that we do not unnecessarily balkanize the cryonics mailing list(s). The situation has changed somewhat in the past four years, but I still think that this is the best solution. Is anyone willing to host "cryonet-philosophy", "cryonet-tech", "cryonet-moderated", "cryonet-undigested" (for mailing each message to the list immediately rather than accumulating them all for a once-a-night digest), "cryonet-hyperlinked" (for web-enabled email clients), or any other variation?
