Expanding the list -- not closing it.

Eric,

I'm  changing my mind... After reading the recent posts, and 
considering the following, my vote goes to keeping the lists separate.

In short?

It would be far easier for interested parties to subscribe to both lists.

I suspect that with separate lists, a good number of the treasured 
folks here will populate both lists. In the end as an individual 
interested subscriber, whether the lists are together or separate, 
you'll end up receiving the same number of posts anyway.

As separate lists, those with brand new toys, and no interest in 
legacy machines, will not be interrupted by irrelevant pre-OSX posts, 
and battery surgery. On the other side, those without the new gear, 
won't need to filter out what may become a majority proportion of 
non-legacy queries.

I suspect the new machine will generate far more traffic than the 
legacy machines, and that if combined, you will in the end need to 
separate at some point.

Possibly a note at the beginning of each list's digest referencing 
the other one.


Regards,
Marc
