Then topics on a single list are probably the way to go if there's
going to be a lot of mixing and matching. With 3 lists, it's not so
terrible. If you have lists A, B, C, then you need only 4 super-lists
to cover every possible combination: ABC, AB, AC, BC. But what if you
decide to add another list to the mix? You would need 11 superlists
to cover every combination. Add yet another list and it really gets
unwieldy.
If you use topics, you only need one list, and you can have up to 23
topics.
If you don't like having the topics listed on the Subject: line,
there are ways to hide them (the easiest one being to use LISTSERV
Maestro to send out your mailings, but there are ways without
Maestro) [And speaking of Maestro, the free Maestro offer expires Dec
21, per the latest issue of LISTSERV at Work newsletter].
