[mythtv-users] Spilt Myth mailing list?

I vote we split the mailing list.

One mailing list for the regular posts...

And one mailing lists for posts for this thread.


That should eliminate approximately 90% of the
spurious posts to the list (and everyone can
discuss this to death).


Sort of tongue-in-cheek... but... come on guys!!
