Gordon's responses are all correct. The problem then is that CCTECH is
effectively useless at eliminating off-topic messages for people who
prefer that in the sense that an on-topic thread started on CCTALK as a
result of a message posted to CCTECH will be missed by the people on
CCTECH.

Somebody reads CCTECH and is subscribed to CCTALK
also (but they don't
get mail from that list)
If you are on cctech presumably you don't want to subscribe to
cctalk. The only reason to subscribe to them both is if you want to be
able to post to cctech.
They ask a question on CCTECH and it is copied to
CCTALK
Somebody (lets say me) reads it on CCTALK (I don't mind getting all the
'junk' as well), and posts a reply (to CCTALK)
Which the original poster never sees.
That's right, that's inherent in the choice to be on cctech.
Similarly, if a subscriber to CCTECH (only) posts
a reply, then the
CCTALK crowd never see it.
No, it will be sent to cctalk also.
