What are the other reasons, though? I'm sure they've been discussed in the 
past on here, I just don't recall them :-)

In theory the idea of two lists seems like a really good one to me - both 
groups (those who like the social side, and those who don't) can be kept 
happy. The only problem seems to be he workload for moderators, which I can 
appreciate must be large. (Well, there's the occasional user who cross-posts 
to both lists when they shouldn't, but they seem to be educated by other list 
members fairly quickly)

So, other than the workload, what are the other disadvantages (I think what 
I'm getting at is: if the moderation workload could be reduced somehow, would 
it make sense to keep both lists?)

cheers
