As it turn out now, we have cobalt-users, cobalt-developers, cobalt-security,
cobalt-announce, and for the qube folks, qube-users. Ignoring the qube-users
list, one already has to watch 4 lists. I see little difference in raq3
owners posting in a raq3 list and raq3 owners sometimes posting in
cobalt-users versus cobalt-developers. I disagree with you, the posts are
pretty platform specific (things are quite different on each of the
platforms). 

It was just my vote, did not intend to cause you to have a lose sleep over
it. I certainly will not.
