[MF] the way forward for MoQ discussion lists

[Sam Norton]

Hi,

This seems about right:

an MD list as at present;
MF replaced by several 'themed' streams - and we now have the flexibility for 
people to choose which and how much to subscribe to, and how it might be 
received.

By the way, thinking about the different 'streams', I'd quite like to have a 
distinct 'MoQ from a Christian perspective' stream - distinct from a 'MoQ and 
mythology/religion' stream - but perhaps that's selfish (although presumably 
anyone can start up a thread appealing to their own interests, and then it'll be 
a question of 'survival of the fittest' - appropriately evolutionary for the 
MoQ?) I just think there is an awful lot of material that could be fruitfully 
considered, and separating it out from the general mysticism/Campbell/New Age 
stuff would stop it from being drowned at birth.

Any thoughts? (Maggie?)

Sam
