Your choice, but I'd have to ask why. In a couple of weeks all the F11
stuff is going to go there and not here. It doesn't seem logical to
subscribe to f-t-l and not to f-l, but again, that's your call. I'd be
very surprised if it was the common case.

What makes you think Mailman works like this? There's no indication
whatever that that's what happens. In fact AFAIK Mailman keeps separate
lists entirely separate. There's no reasonable way it could do anything
else, especially if the subscribers to both lists are not identical.

The trouble with cross-posting in this way is that it immediately forks
the threads into two sets of replies. This doesn't do anyone any good.
