I agree, but unfortunately it isn't politically possible.

I would hope that this is a temporary situation. I also hope that Amadeu is
happy, he has his multiple lists.<grin> Really, observing the
socio-political dynamics of these entire debates, over the past two years,
has been quite enlightening. Right now I am researching how to build an
exploder-list that would filter out the duplicates and provide consolidated
two-way content. The current situation is wearing out my delete-key, on a
keyboard that already has enough problems. (Anyone have a "short" Northgate
keyboard available, even used? These new ones suk [no feel].)
