1) That would take an awful lot of time on someone's part to look
through all the mail and sort out what parts/messages are
"relavent";
2) It would considerably slow down response time on a discussion
for a human being have to manually pass each messages through;
3) Mistakes may be made in the interpretation of what the person is
saying if the area is highly technical; and
4) What is relavent to one person may not be to another.
The solution I propose is to simply split up the Unix - Wizzards mailing list
into a number of smaller special-purpose lists.
