Thanks for your reply. I wanted to know why you referred to the CentOS forums in relation to the subject of splitting the mailing list. I can go on with my response to your personal view, but doing so would be way off-topic here in this thread. Therefore, I started an open discussion session in the right place for this topic - not surprisingly - in the CentOS forum: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=16821&forum=18 So, people who are interested, please join in and post your comments and thoughts.
