        The topic of reducing the message volume on INFO-VAX has cropped
up often, and I think I am not alone in saying I would like to see it go
down.  Toward this end, I propose that a new mailing list -- call it
INFO-VMS --  be created for discussing software issues in the VAX/VMS
environment, and that INFO-VAX be then dedicated to discussing hardware
issues.

        The number of messages concerning each issue are about even, and
thus the message volume on both lists, hopefully, would be halved.
Moreover, this would offer additional selectivity to subscribers like
me, who are interested in only one of these issues (in my case,
the software issues).

        This is just a suggestion, so no flames please; what do you
people out there think of this idea?

                                Sincerely,

                                Rahul Mangaldas.
