My view is close to Warrens here. So in order to keep up with  
everything without having to bother about separate lists I have them  
both filtered into the same mail box. Recommended!

I don't need to know which list a certain thread is coming from, I  
just delete or read-write-reply. My replies goes out to the same list  
they came from. A true victory for mail filtering and separate mails  
subscription!
