Hello, it's nice to hear from some of the people who don't often post.

It will be a pretty biased vote, since the people who went to the specialty
lists and opted out of P3D won't even know it's going on. Somebody ought to
send them a polite Notice of Annexation - perhaps "resistance is futile -
you will be assimilated". :-)

It seems to me that for most people, setting up their preferences only once
per address change (assuming most people's addresses don't change very
often) takes a lot less cumulative time than skipping over a batch of
messages they don't want to read, *every day*. This would favor continuing
to have multiple lists.

I don't know what you mean by - oops! Sorry! Have to go see what's on the
other channel!
