In response to a valid question, that has been raised on Radsafe 
previously, as well as other professional listservers, I say no, for 
the following reasons:

1. We are a group with varied expertise and opinions.
2. There is not always a fine distinction between "purely" technical 
    versus "social". Each one facilitates a better understanding of 
    an issue. They stand "not" alone. They are symbiotic.
3. With a single source of messages we are all "exposed" to a variety 
    of information, opinions and ideas. THIS is GOOD. 
4. If one isn't interested in a particular subject, they don't need   
    to read the message. 
5. Melissa does an awful lot to manage the best overall listserver    
     that I am familiar with. WHY increase the necessary "mothering"? 
6. Radsafe grows since it meets a need of the nuclear community. 
    Don't mess with success.
