The way this is handled on another list I am on, which split in an
essentially identical way for essentially identical reasons, works
opposite to the way CCTALK/CCTECH do now. Its "tech" list is managed this
way:

* All articles are sent to the unmoderated "general" list.

* A moderator (or moderators) "promotes" on-topic messages received by the
  general list to be delivered to the essentially read-only "tech" list.

* All replies go to the general list; on-topic replies are promoted, etc.


It works well for them, with minimal confusion. Was this option considered
and rejected already? Does it make sense for CCTALK?

ok
