NO. Besides, haven't we just had this discussion a couple of months ago?

Reasons NOT to split the list:

1. Background discussions - the GZG 'offical' universe, or any other,
including historical discussions - these usually slide back and forth
between DS/SG & FT focus, or neither. So which list gets the background
stuff?

2. Personally, I don't yet play FT - just DS & SG. But I'm interested, I
own the FT & MT books, and someday intend to actually start a fleet.
There's lots of people on the list who actually DO play all three games
-
why should we have to subscribe to two seperate lists?

3. Crossposting bites. Big time. Know how annoying it is to get the same
message on a couple of different newgroups? (I'm talking of Usenet, but
the principle applies.) Things like Con & website announcements, etc
would
all have to be crossposted...
