After a long time being on this list, I'm about to leave it. I find myself 
deleting about 90-95% of the messages that are posted.

At one time, it felt like it was a list for folks wanting to chat about 
vintage computers. But over time, it has become a list where just about 
anything goes.

I know it's not your fault, Jay. For some reason, this list seems to be 
unmanageable. I belong to many lists - most are not managed (or one would 
more properly say "self managed"). None of these lists "stray" from their 
stated purpose as does this list.

Suggestion: Split the CCLIST into two or maybe three lists - One list for 
those who what do discuss vintage minicomputers, one for vintage 
microcomputers and one for anything classic electronic (what is now posted as 
"off-topic"). Define vintage as being at least 15 years old and classic being 
at least 10 years old.

It seems to me that "self-managing" of the lists would be easier - as members 
would suggest that a certain subject belongs on another list within the same 
"family" of lists.

I suppose one could argue that some "cross-fertilization" would be lost. But I 
think there is more danger that those of us with a great deal of experience 
in minis and micros [and restoration] will abandon the list if something 
doesn't happen to encourage people to stay on topic.

Lyle
