It is an excellent resource, but that's not what the list was set up for.

True, but in no-where near the same quantity (but that could be down to it
being less used.)

Being strict, the bulk buy stuff should be moved to the bulk buy list.

Again, being very strict, any questions regarding kat5's should be directed
to the kat5 list, even though the manufacturer/designer is on this list. As
an example, I know there are other postgres users on this list, but if I
have
a Postgres questions I either use the postgres mailing list or IRC channel.

Personally, I don't like web forumns, mainly because I'm a lazy git & I
like
my mail to come to me, not to have to go looking for it. Web forumns are,
IMO, a step backward from email.
