On P3d there is a discussion on a newly announced mailing list.

I support the appeal for un-fragmentation.

Apart from reading e-mail I also subscribe to a daily, printed 
newspaper. Often I read less than 10% of it, but I wouldn't like it to 
fall apart in different newspapers for local, international, film, art, 
science, economic etc news. I read all of those sections _sometimes_.
Mostly I ignore many newspaper sections, and on Photo-3D I also ignored
the long thread on "e-bay", and the "Underexposure of Nimslo in
daylight".

On Sell-3D "FS" means "for sale" and WTB "want to buy".
A subject on P3D starting with "RBT X3 Flash" would be clear to me, 
and "TECH - color temp and greyscale linearity" would herald a 
subject some would like to skip. So I have nothing against
merging the lists. The Digest-form is comparable to a newspaper.

New.3D.Film.Gear is described as: "a discussion forum on new and 
modern purpose-built 3d photographic film equipment designed for the
serious stereographic amateur and professional."
If P3D and T3D both are to stay, I cannot see why "New.3D.Film.Gear"
would not fit in the T3D list.
