Mark

I am quite happy to be added to another list for more general stuff however
I
do think that a lot of the mails are relevant to HA even if only obliquely,
for instance the recent Server thread was about the advisability of using a
server for both HA and Showshifter.

Point taken about people unsubscribing but I would imagine that the 50
people
you mention also make the vast majority of the on topic HA posts so there
is
a danger of diluting the group by splitting it.

No biggie just my two pence worth

Cheers
Mick

the
old chestnut of off topic posts.  I know this is an old one but I do agree
with him.  For the many of us these post aren't a problem.  For  others
however, they are.  A couple of weeks ago a guy that runs a well know HA
business in the UK unsubscribed too, stating it had got to much for him.
