Allen,
 
Here is my 2 cents worth...
 
I am a hobbyist beekeeper. I am also the manager of the CHIRO-LIST, and
online chiropractic discussion group.  A number of chiropractors who
subscribed to my list  of over 350 people decided that there was too much
chatter and dribble, and not enough science, so they created the
CHIROSCI-LIST, a moderated list.
 
Now we have two chiropractic discussion lists on the NET, one for the
"chatter" and one for the "scientists". There are many duplicate postings
and subscribers belonging to both lists.
 
Frankly, and I speak from experience, I feel it is a waste of bandwidth and
NET resources.  Keep everything under one unmoderated list and things will
run a lot better, IMHO.
 
Are you thinking of creating a BEESCI-LIST? Why?
