I'm in agreement with you Frank on the non-relevance of a lot of list
traffic, especially re Ebay and the like which is of no interest to me
personally. I get more messages in one day from this list than from all the
others to which I subscribe in a week! But there aren't really that many
FS and WTB posts so I'm not sure spliting the list up in the way you
describe would be useful. Maybe splitting off Olympus.eBay might be more
helpful... Or even Olympus.use-of-English ;-) Of course, the last time
this matter was discussed it in itself led to greatly increased traffic .....
Regards
Richard
