RE: UKHA_XBOX ?

["Graham Howe" <graham@xxxxxxx>]

My view is don't spin them off, use the delete key if you don't want the
messages, or use what ever rules/filters your email client allows to
block the offending messages. The only possible exception is something
like a group buy where communication between the group buy members is
certainly never going to be of interest to others. To be perfectly
honest, from my personal point of view, the volume of xbox posts pales
into insignificance compared with the spam I receive :(

ok, my take on this.

certain products/technologies suddenly become popular and a certain
percentage of people on the list talk about it for a while (non-stop,
some would say!). other members of the group get pissed off with it,
there are calls for a new group, a new group is created, and sometimes
the new group fizzles out as the initial excitement dies down. also, it
must be said, some people from ukha join the new group as they are
convinced to buy/adopt the product/technology...

what we need, i think, is this...

we need to be able to quickly and easily spin off groups for these
occasions. in this case, "ukha_xbox". all (most) xbox talk would
move
over there, and only those who care join, but when/if the need for the
group disappears, the group is killed...

the key thing is the archive of the group remains within the ukha
hierarchy. so a search on www.ukha-archives.com would still come up with
the answers that people need. it could done be one of (at least) two
ways. either the new group is folded back into ukha_d when it dies, or
the search on ukha-archives.com is simply expanded to include the
results of the spin off groups.

in a way, the new groups would be like an extended version of a thread
(or thread filtering).

does any of that make any sense?!
