Is that your real concern? You should breathe a sigh of relief when you learn that the goals of the debian-women project do *not* include siphoning people away from -mentors or -devel. Quite the contrary. And if individual subscribers choose to take refuse in debian-women and never do venture out to those other lists, what is that to you? (That's a rhetorical question - no need to feel the need to answer it.) Also, ponder whether you are equally concerned when a post which really should go to debian-user ends up on debian-mentors. Or when a post that ideally is topical for debian-project ends up on debian-vote, simply because there is something to do with a vote involved. Or when a post which concerns the installer winds up on debian-devel rather than debian-boot. Face it, there is plenty of overlap between existing debian lists. And not everyone knows which list is the best to post to in every circumstance, no matter how you document it. If it really bothers you that much, feel free to subscribe to debian-women so that you don't miss any of the exciting material you expected to see on debian-mentors. I don't hear anyone except you complaining about the burden of being on one too many mailing lists as a result of this. Peter (BTW, don't expect much more out of me than what I'm posting now. In our encounter on IRC the other day, I kept trying to find out if you had more questions that we hadn't answered already, and all I got was you rehashing the same few questions over and over, apparently hoping for new answers that suited your preconceptions better than the answers we'd already given. So if I ignore your further responses, it will probably be because they are, in my judgment, covering ground we have been over many times already.)
