I think that 90% of the messages on this mailing list are an utter waste of time, and the division might help. However, I think that the best help would be for people to take to heart the UNIX philosphy of 'small, terse and well thought out'. The proposed scheme would not have helped with the EXTENDED argument over mode bits, which was one of the largest accumulations of useless balderdash I have ever seen. What are the reactions at this point to digestifying UNIX-Wizards? I feel that responsible editorial attention is required. -------
