I know.  :)  I was asking Steve what his opinion was.

What about a gatewaying through a sub-group? -- i.e., something like one of
the following:

   lugnet.cad.dev
   lugnet.cad.devel
   lugnet.cad.develop
   lugnet.cad.developer
   lugnet.cad.developers
   lugnet.cad.internals

I do enjoy reading the L-CAD list, but I have trouble keeping up with it via
e-mail, even with mail filtering into separate inboxes...  It's difficult to
go back and follow threads without an archive.

It's also difficult to cross-post something -- the message I sent to L-CAD
yesterday about "Chrome" vs. "Silver," I wanted to cross-post between L-CAD
and lugnet.cad, but since they're so far apart physically, I worried about
creating two threads.  (BTW, did that message ever show up on the L-CAD
list?  I didn't see it echoed back to me on the list.)

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
