I am talking about something like:

That looks to me to be a perfect example of what the 'email only' proponents
(as opposed to 'grumpy old farts', if y'all prefer) don't want. I'm sure
that's useful to the people that are willing to invest the time into it in
pursuit of that particular subject/passion, but it's overkill in the extreme
for the purposes of this list.
We have, afaik, about 800 members and one subject. Dividing that subject
into 'community' items and 'technical' items would kill the character of the
list and complicate things exponentially. Not what I had in mind at all.
