If you split the list into two, you'll just complicate the issue. Also, eGroups have moved their adverts to the TOP of every mail, which is pretty irritating. The solution is to pay for a premium service - what's the point of that when it's currently free? You can limit your flow of traffice by receiving a daily digest if you want - that's an eGroup set up by Lawrence P. In my opinion, BD is fine as it is. The "debates" are occasional, and the flame wars pretty rare these days - surely there isn't enough traffic to warrant the change that some people feel necessary?
