        While this sounds like a good idea in principle, I don't really
think it will work well.  I have seen this happen on a few other lists and
what seems to happen is:

*       Threads start on one list then "migrate" to the other, so you
normally need to subscribe to both.
*       500f the participants post to the wrong list (witness the number
on this list who accidentally reply to the list rather than another list
member).
*       Additional "management" required on behalf of the person who
maintains the list.

        All of this IMHO.

        ...Wayne
