Solution: We don't split the list, we standardise [and stick to]
message tagging.

If you're posting socially, then make sure you have a [social] in your
subject.  etc.

The same goes for Newbie, etc.

This is *REALLY* easy to filter in procmail and M$ products with
message filtering.

That way everybody gets the traffic, everybody can read it, and those
who don't care can filter those threads into /dev/null with three
lines in a .procmailrc.
