I vote one list.



I think the splitting of the list was a misguided attempt to shut up 

all the sophomoric attempts to fix the XL design.  The hope was the 

speculation would be limited to one list and actual builders could 

avoid that one.



Now that we have a dedicated engineering speculation list perhaps we 

builders can get back together to discuss rivets and paint.

I think 701/801 guys and gals, would just rather read about 701s/801s. I also get the feeling that there is a subtle difference in the personalities of 601 vs 701/801 guys. Not saying anything negative just that its there. The airframe cross over stuff was hard to separate at times, because people did not spell out what airframe its for.  The 601 wing discussion belongs in the 601 section, if anyplace. Though the Yahoo group for this is a good way to limit negative exposer. But now you have 601 guys who, are  still posting 601 stuff in the Zenith list.  



The list is fine the way it is, though I still feel that a Main Zenith with 601/701/801/640..... subgroups may help the searches, depends again, on the software. Post in the correct place and all fill be fine.

The problem is there aren't 2 lists there are 4.



The original Zenith

The 601

The 701/801

The 640 (Which I might add has a total of 20 posts on 9 topics.)



If we are going to keep the lists split we need to NOT use the original list for aircraft specific questions and we sure as heck don't need to post the same question to both.



I use the web interface but it would drive me nuts to see the same message sent from each group in my e-mail box.

I'll second the responsible posting idea, the RV guys seem to be able to do it, so can we.
