List Splitting - Idea

[Marielle Lange]

Hi Dave,

Excellent suggestion. Go for it. Don't wait for runrev blessings for  
this or nothing will happen. You DON'T need their blessing (and  
anyway they will never give it simply because this would be a very  
bad management choice to encourage us to do so). phpBB is a good  
choice. Far better than Yahoo. Please go ahead.
