Saw a thought on the NCUC-Exec list:

for me?

about 25 lists for ICANN

more that that for the IETF

only about half dozen for the IGF

….

i receive somewhere around1000+ messages per day
skim 100's
read scores.

and some mailboxes i only get to a weekly basis or even monthly basis.
some even more rarely than that 
- only when I hear something interesting is going on.

modern mail systems are gems at organizing it all just the way i like it.

so iam always in favor of additional lists.  
though i think people should not copy many lists on one email.
but there are even filters for weeding out duplicates.

i can live with it either way.
but if i had a vote i vote to let a thousand mailing lists bloom.
