Well, it not so surprising that there is duplication,
considering that GA-full is GA *plus* the postings
of people temporarily banned according to the list rules.

GA: 266, GA-digest: 9, GA-full: 17

I don't think anyone signed up for both lists. It is
a question of *choice* -- GA members choose whether
they want moderation or not (GA-full readers may want
to use their own killfilters). The vast majority has
indeed opted for the GA with list rules.

The list is a result of a heated discussion regarding
a potential problem which -- at least in my view, but
maybe me being a list monitor makes me biased ;) --
has not happened and I hope will never happen.

Taking away the choice may make further discussions
about breaches of the list rules resemble the bitter
struggles before the two lists compromise was reached.
