<*>> The fanfic mailing list is a nice place as it is, to me. I like the diversity
<*>> and at times, craziness of it all. I don't mind the high mail count because I
<*>> know where it's coming from. If the list were split, I know for sure that I
<*>> won't subscribe to all of them.
<*>
<*>THAT IS THE POINT.

So, Damoo, your point is that you don't want us to subscribe to all the
sublists?

A point to make on smaller lists generating ideas. An analogy would be a
flame and its connection to tinder.

A small spark can light up tinder big and small equally well. The difference
is how long it will burn before someone can see the light.

On a large list, there is enough mental tinder for someone who doesn't read
often to catch a thread and become interested.

On a small list, it will escape notice.

As for size, I remember when the list was in its infancy and STILL outputted
200+ posts per day. Size at times has little to do with it.
