[d@DCC] Another mailing list needed to separate organizing from analysis/etc?

[noximyre at imajine.com]

I see no harm in creating an organize list. People who want access to both
can easily just add a subscription.

However, I think we should split analysis out of the discuss list rather
than organize. I think most people who'd rather not get analysis messages
would still want to get the media monitoring messages (assuming that means
news posting). By "media monitoring" I do not mean to include "media
analysis" (I'm not sure what that means - does it mean arguing that the
Heritage Minister is parrotting the major labels?).
