I have seen such a split work on other lists (my local unix users
group list, for example).  It seems to keep most people happy.

Personally, I'm happy with the list volume at present---I've developed
my own methods[1] for dealing with email volume.

If Shawn needs to upgrade Zuiko just to cope with current volume, I'm
not sure sanctioning increased social use of the list is wise.

One more infobahn cliche couldn't hurt...
