Not all of us are interested enough in a particular topic to be on a
mailing list, but may still be interested enough to follow one or two
topics. Myself, I am following X and a couple of other things right
now, but not enough to get on the mailing list. However, I am NOT
interested in SCSI at all. (Yes, I know about kill files, but they use
up so much time and space resources that I avoid them.)

But using the mailing list topics as the initial set of breakouts is
probably a good start.
