I agree here. Similary to Rafael I would also like to receive sci-math |
| 19 |
bugspam but not sci-*. I also don't see any good pros of joining the |
| 20 |
herds except some abstract "simplification". You can still subscribe to |
| 21 |
all of the sci-? aliases if you are working on everything. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So what was the point of joining the herds in the first place? |

I like the first idea, but I also want to be able to use "sci" as a |
| 29 |
herd, e.g. for scientific libraries that might be used across |
| 30 |
disciplines. |
