    You could set up some sort of mailing list to do that, but then the
purpose of splitting csa2 is defeated.  Right now we get lots of
programming and for sale ads on csa2.  Those who aren't interested have
to skip through a lot of articles.  Those who are interested may miss an
important post because of the volume of message traffic here.  By having
csa2.programmer and csa2.forsale (I'm just using these as examples), you
can have well-defined groups within the csa2 hierarchy.
