I don't think so. I was one of the first few dozen subscribers and my
recollection matches Fred's:
If I recall correctly (unrefreshed dynamic wetware
RAM), it was not two
separate lists. CCTECH was a subset of CCTALK. CCTECH was to be
ON-topic ONLY, with CCTALK quite a bit looser, to be able to devolve
into determining location from ham radio callsigns, etc. Everything
posted to CCTECH was echoed on CCTALK. A participant needed only to
subscribe to one list, depending on how tolerant they wanted to be about
off-topic tangents.
At the risk of resurrecting yet another old topic, do we really need
both lists?
(Sorry, Jay, I know you already put a lot of effort in and don't have
time for this :-))
