Having multiple mailing lists instead of just one also takes more memory &
system resources, not to mention a pain the rear end to manage. What you want
a Amiga, Mac, DOS, Windows, 68k, z80, etc mailing lists too?
Also, sending emails to people _every_ time a file is updated would be very
annoying, filling lots of people's mail boxes with mail. One email is much
easier and simpler, and better. Besides, reloading ticalc.org every 5 minutes
gives us more hits. ;-)
