Except that there is no clear delineation in terms of list names as 
to which list caters for what machine.

So one week you are on the "latest" list and then a week later (post 
Tiger or whatever) you are relegated to the "older" list,

If you define one list as "G3 and earlier" (or whatever) then the 
person trying to run Tiger on their Wallstreet still knows which list 
to look at, comforted by the knowledge that this list is frequented 
by fellow Wallstreet owners running 8.1 through to Tiger.

Whereas, following your suggestion, if they post on the latest list 
the may well be overlooked by everyone else who is running 10.4 on 
their dual 2Ghz G5 PB (well I can dream can't I).

If you split by OS, 9.2.2 and earlier Vs 10.0 and later, then where 
do classic related questions go?
