I would like to support and add to Mr. Rowe's comments about hockey-l
postings. I believe that hockey-l should be devoted to Div. I college
hockey, with just scores posted from the other divisions and ACHA.
Most people, with some exceptions, only care about the division in which
their team is in. For hockey-l, this is Div. I. I only follow division I,
since BU is Div. I. Any postings about DivisionII or III I do not care
about and the postings just become junk mail and are deleted without
being read.
If everyone was interested in all three divisions, there would be a need for
hockey3. I'm sure that most of the people exclusively subscribing to
hockey3 no not care about Div. I hockey and promptly delete any messages
pertaining to Div. I
The people that follow all three divisions can (and probably do) subscribe
both to hockey-l and hockey3. This means that there is no need to send a
copy to hockey-l, since anyone following Div II & III would already be
subscribed to hockey3.
As Mr. Hubbard stated, as it is right now, hockey-l accepts postings
concerning Div. II, III, and ACHA. I think this should change, and maybe
the "[log in to unmask]" list should be renewed to discuss a possible
change. If hockey3 did not exist, I think all college hockey would belong
here. However, it does exist, so there is really no need for those postings
on hockey-l.
BTW, the first sentence in the second paragraph should read, "If everyone is
interested in all three divisions, there would be *no* need for hockey3.
