Members of one of my list are clamouring for more than eleven topics.
(They seem to want about fifty topics.)

1. Does LSOFT have any intentions of supporting more than eleven topics
in a list?

2. In the absence of any software enhancements, does anyone have any
suggestions for "faking" more than eleven topics in a list?

3. I thought of the following kludge. Any comments on problems that I
would have or improvements that I could make? In order to get the
effect of having a list with 55 different topics, create one super-list
with no direct subscribers and five sub-lists with all "subscribers"
subscribed to all five of the sub-lists. Assign eleven (different)
topics to each of the five sub-lists, so that together the sub-lists
cover all 55 topics. Keep any notebooks only at the super-list level.
In the five sub-lists, set "Send= <Impossible-Address>". In the
super-list, set "Send= Editor" and
"Editor= person@host,(list-1),(list-2),(list-3),(list-4),(list-5)".
For purposes of subscribing, setting distribution options, setting
topics, etc. subscribers will have to deal with all five of the
sub-lists. For posting to the list, subscribers would post to the
super-list.
