what do you mean adjust the filters? I have everything going to a different folder. Actually this is easier to do with program-l since they put [program-l] in the subject line, so I can just pipe everything off to where it needs to go.

I do not read everything that comes through this list now, but I
appreciate a lot of what I do read.

Is it also unreasonable to expect people to be able to adjust their
filters as new posters enter the stream?

Thank you for your work.

Well to tackle your deadlines of June or July. Think we are a bit past that
now.
Sense i run a list on freelists. They do show how many emails a list gets
and that could be used as a average for determining how much traffic Program
L might be getting.
I also belong to both lists and view the Program L list to be more
professional in nature and this list more in the accessibility of
programming and beginners. yes, we do have some pro's on here and that helps
a lot for beginners.
I personally don't think the build up of traffic is worth George's hassle.
If you wanted to drop the list. I am sure a few on here would pick it up.

We have plenty of time for the merger (I am looking at either June 1 or
July
1 for the switch at this point after consulting with FreeLists). All
feedback will be taken into account as well as consultation with George
will be taking place.

I'm kind of curious why this change just went without no one hearing
about it until it's time to go. I'm also a bit dubious on this switch;
program-l and programmingblind are a lot different in their topics and
the tone of the messages. I have always viewed program-l as a more
professional list, while programmingblind is where we generally diverge
to give windows tech support and whatever else randomly pops up. I'm
not supporting off-topic messages, but the tone is different; I do not see
any point in merging the two.
