* the question here would seem to be-- does all the usenet stuff

* crossover into this list and vice-versa?  if so, given the

* generally facile level of usenet discussion, i say no to a gate.

* it would get cluttered with crap.  let the chit-chatters stick to

* rec.arts.movies and the serious stuff can stay on h-film and

* screen-l

This discussion was just painfully played out on a music list I'm on (why

be coy, REM). As long as Jeremy's server can handle the load, I would vote

heavily AGAINST combining the two. The digest exploded by a factor of 10

(really!), filled with a lot of, as this person notes, generally facile crap.

I don't like to condemn a whole group of users, but the level of discussion

on USenet has never approached internet.
