I am gonna have to vote for some rules on the subject line contents as was
suggested earlier, rather than a new list. If its a TIICO related post,
put TIICO in the subject line and let the users filter it any way that
they choose.

Frankly, if you break off TIICO into its own list, how would newbies to
the list know there was even such a possibility for conversion? I have
been off and on this list for years, but everything I know about Vanagons
and the possibilities has come from all you folks. Don't cut off a source
of info that people may one day need.

Filters on email programs are there for a good reason, but I'll bet a lot
of users never even set them up and take advantage. When a thread starts
going off track, just filter the subject line into oblivion and move on.
If we had adherence to rules such as subject titles, those who don't care
about TIICO, or Tires, or whatever, have the tools right on their PC to
avoid having to see them.

Don't split it up, its all Vanagon related and we all learn from it.
