In reality there are probably too many lists and none are policed particularly 
well. My email setup strips each to it's own folder so I can simply ignore 
things if I want, but occasionally something pops up which needs redirecting. We 
have a firebird php list which handles the firebird and interbase drivers so 
those sort of enquiries get redirected. But I must have a clean out some time. 
The first message on this list is 1999 ... and I have some older lists still 
archived :)
