Read the proposal. It isn't strictly a separate list. It is a list
connected by a one-way umbilical cord to the current list. It can't be
done by just creating another list. It has to be done on the current
server. Whether the list software is malleable enough to be shaped to the
task, I do not know. I am leaving it to others to comment on the
technical issue. The idea is to experiment and create a parallel flood
channel for certain things that run hot for a couple of weeks but are not
completely on topic. I don't think this is a "bozo" idea, and I hope you
will ponder its implications for more than a few minutes.
