Re: time to split the list?



Yes!!

(In addition, 
a master containing all messages would probobly be appreciated by 
the thorough, the obsesive and the idle.)

ALSO: Making either the master or all subsets available as a digest 
would REALLY help!  I'm getting the firewall list this way.  
It's very tidy. 
(Perhaps those maintaining it could offer some pointers.)
