I think you are wrong. Two obvious errors on examination of the proposal
to produce a second list.
        Firstly. To subscribe to Bestofbee means to give up the right to reply as
there will be no postings made. All it will be is a condensed version of
Bee-L.
        Secondly. To post to Bestofbee means you have to subscribe to Bee-L, which means
you now will receive two mailing lists.
        The whole thing is futile waste of time!!!
