That would make about a dozen conlang related lists to subscribe to. You'd actually have to pay attention to which lists have what threads and who's going to reach its limit first. If you post to Conlang-B, and I'm not subscribed, I'll never hear what you had to say, when you could just post here and let the system work itself out.

And double the messages in our inboxes because people will inevitably cc to one or the other on the assumption that Conlang will reach its limit. I for one am willing to wait for tomorrow to get the backlog rather than try to deal with another list. I'm also not especially willing to subscribe to an extended Conlang list when this list, while inconvenient in its 100 message limit, is not broken anymore.
