Thanks for the input Kate. It could be that Dyfed-L listers have heard enough from me recently on the new lists subject but I'll copy this there, and CGN, to keep them up to date with matters. As Dyfed-L [ 432 ] is still very much bigger than WLS-Pem[ 46 ] and WLS-Cgn [ 24 ] in subscriber numbers and still *does* cover Pem, Cgn and Cmn then of course it makes sense from a researcher's point of view to use Dyfed-L as well , even to the extent of double posting. It's early days yet but whilst the new lists are getting established, and the Dyfed list's function is unchanged, then some duplicate mail is the least of our problems, I think. I would beg to differ on one point you make, I would never have described Dyfed-L as a busy list, Glamorgan, yes. My suggested "survival" plan for you is to subscribe to all the lists in Digest mode, and only open mails that look of interest to you personally. I do realise that does require us all to give a little bit more thought to creating relevant subject line content ! Gareth List Administrator for Dyfed, CGN & PEM.
