I would agree with this.

If a secondary list is set up then it's just going to end up with all the
problems - this doesn't solve anything.

If ePods/Fujitsu's etc to control a HA environment isn't on topic, I don't
know what is!
What would be discussed in this list if not such things?
The idea of setting up a spin-off group as has now been done with the
Fujitsu's seems to be a workable solution - as has already been stated
elsewhere, these would 'naturally die' when the frenzy is over & fold
back
into the main ukha_d group.

At this rate, the discussions of should we move from Yahoo/what to do about
'OT' posts have generated so much traffic that there should be a group
devoted to this alone! :-)
