Why 22 lists instead of just one? Hopefully because each serves a  
different segment of our Society. That is what these two lists do,  
one serves the Target Archery segment, the other the Combat Archery  
segment. The fact that you have people on one and not the other makes  
the point that they are different. Personally I would not care if all  
the lists I am on were combined in to one, that is what subject lines  
are for, but I do not want lists I am not on combined in to that  
"super list", once again that is why you run 22 lists instead of just  
one.

This is the rub for a lot of people I know. You are automatically  
combining the Target Archers and the Combat Archers in to one  
community regardless of their desire to be in one or not. I am not  
part of the Archery Community, I have nothing in common with the  
Target Archers. I am part of the Melee community, I have a lot in  
common with the Combat Archers who are also part of the Melee  
community. If this list were to be combined with another list I would  
argue it should be combined with a Melee community list so all of us  
in the melee community are on the same page. Feel like wading thru e- 
mails describing the best way to build a spear tip? Didn't think so.  
That is why we have a list dedicated to Combat Archery and also  
hopefully other melee missile weapons. Please don't make me wade thru  
e-mails about target butts.
