Oh yeah..definately agree!  There should be at least two mailing lists, at 
miminum.  I'm still fighting with install and setup problems here myself, 
so getting inundated with other emails not pertaining to such is a bit 
overworking to sift through at times.   I think it's great that many people 
have offered their help and expertise to other MiniVend'ers in some 
fashion, but it's my opinion that the overall group might be best served if 
the mailing list were more structured, as what Loy suggested.

Possibly an online forum on a web site would better than a mailing list.  I 
believe the following is a still a free board to setup....
http://www.InsideTheWeb.com/
By utilizing one of the free boards available, no one has to donate their 
own space/bandwidth in order to accomodate the traffic??    Purely a 
suggestion!
