There should be no chatter on it alone, but it serves as a broadcast medium if you need to reach the entire perl maintainance & new construction crews. Add the rule that forwards replies to the sublist(s) of the replied-to message and you have a main list that is not a chatter center by itself, but is a collection point for all the sublists, and is a controlled broadcast medium. - BarrieThread Previous | Thread Next
