I agree with Dan that I don't think that splitting the users list is
worthwhile.  It simply fragments for the sake of reducing traffic.  We
_FINALLY_ have some communication between the Wine community and our
users looking for help and hopefully they are getting they help they
need and we're learning how to avoid common trouble spots and fix them
(And I do think this is happening).
