How about this:

Is it possible to have 4 input addresses that go to the whole TechNet list?

So you would have "[log in to unmask]",
                  "[log in to unmask]",
                  "[log in to unmask]",
 and the original "[log in to unmask]" addresses.

Mail sent to the original address would not change, the subject would have
"[TN]" just like it does now.  The others would have the subject line
modified (i.e. [TN:Fab]) to show that they were sent as limited interest
items that others could filter into the trash can if they weren't
interested.  Those that were interested in "Just Us" email only could filter
everything except their Special Interest Group into the trash, cutting down
on their bandwidth.

Designers, Fabricators, Assemblers and Users each have a unique and valuable
perspective.

I suggest that IPC have one tech net forum where all four groups
participate.  Many problems have 4 different perspectives and we should not
break up into 4 groups just to ease our mail load.

As the fabrication and assembly representative for my design group, I have
to think about what users need and why.  I would have to subscribe to and
track each of 4 forums that would support my fields of view.

A simple example:  Did the designer specify tin plated parts and eutectic
solder plated boards for a SAC assembly process on 'green' hardware?  Does
that contribute to non-wetting, short life, whiskers or hogh voltage
vulnerability?  I defy you to resolve the question using only one
discipline.  We need all the viewpoints together to find the best solutions.

If we shorten our mail list, we lose vision and we become short-sighted.
