Hi folks:
    
    It seems to me that increasingly the TCP-IP list is being filled with
messages of the form "anyone know anything about product X?", to the
expense of interesting technical notes.  (I have to plow through
the product junk mail to find the interesting stuff).

    Does anyone else out there think it might be useful to create
a separate list for such requests and their answers?  (If you are afraid
that by splitting off the product side, the questions won't get answered,
I assure you that the vendors have a large interest in seeing product
related questions answered, and given a vendor and its competitors are
both on the list, an answer is likely to be accurate).

Craig
