The problem is not the mechanics, the problem is that
with too many sigs people don't know where to go and with
too few they get congested with peripheral stuff or
"orphan messages".  I'd opt
for too few, myself, and people can learn how to use that
little delete button... I discovered it not to long ago...
really handy!

Actually I was distressed to see the pythonwin-sig go
away and it looks like maybe the db-sig may go that
way too (even though it has little activity, if you want
an answer on databases, that's the place to go -- your message
might be accidentally ignored on other lists, including the main list).
