I would subscribe.  Although I'm pretty sure that nearly everyone on the callers list would be on the choreography list so the volume of mail would stay the same.  And since knowing choreography is an important part of being a caller that I would think that one list would suffice.  Volume doesn't really bother me - the more info the better!

My thought is that most if not all callers would want to be on both lists, so why not have them be the same list? My only answer that I could think of why not is if the callers list volume is getting too heavy for some people. So I would like to know is if there are many people who would _not_ subscribe to a choreography list? Also, what do you think of the traffic volume lately? If you think that the volume is too heavy lately, would you rather have it divided into two lists to increase the signal to noise ratio? Thanks to everyone for your interest and participation, even if it's just lurking. Chris Weiler Your friendly neighborhood SharedWeight moderator.

I would rather have two lists. Jo Mortland Sent from my iPhone On May 9, 2012, at 2:23 PM, "Chris Weiler (home)" <chris.weiler(a)weirdtable.org> wrote:

If we are going to post and vet new dances, I am quite certain a separate list would be preferable. Our little caller's group here in Missouri would alone double the word volume of the current list. While the total volume would be the same, I think there would be distinct advantages to having the dances presorted out from the other topics. I would most certainly subscribe to both lists if it were done. Thanks for all you do Chris! Bob On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 2:23 PM, Chris Weiler (home) < chris.weiler(a)weirdtable.org&gt; wrote:

Hi Chris and All, If there was a separate choreography list, I'd want to be on it. Having a separate list might encourage dance writers to share more often. But what about questions about a particular non-new dance, or requesting ideas for an event? Does that get relegated to the choreography list too? If dance discussion becomes a separate list, there's likely to be cross-posting for topics that might be included in each, and I'd likely get three different queries about the same dance - and discussions thereof - on three different listservs. And would this then lead to people scolding other posters about engaging in dance discussions on the caller's list? That sounds like too much work. The subject headers help me save or delete individual discussions well enough, so I would rather have all the dance discussions included in the Callers list for simplicity's sake. ND would work nicely too. Joy Greenwolfe Durham, NC On May 9, 2012, at 3:23 PM, Chris Weiler (home) wrote:
