This is an acceptable construct for newsgroups since you can readily distingish
between the two groups but it would be a nightmare for any listmember that
want's to receive both lists. A double stream of Classic-stuff, partly pepperd
with
even more OT-dribble.
Just a little bit of educational OT-stuff makes life enjoyable. It's the
"This is my conviction, and you've got to eat it" rants that I hate.
It seems that for too many nerdy nerds the classic-comp list is the only
emotional outlet they have.
