This sounds like the best thing to do.  I'm going to set them up
as both.  So, we'll have:

   swarm-support
   swarm-modelling
   swarm-support-digest
   swarm-modelling-digest

A couple more questions for y'all.  1) I've always used "modelling",
but, it seems that "modeling" is preferred.  Any opinions?  2) Should
we combine the two lists for a single digest?  Since digests are an
easy way for subscribers to keep their own archives of the list, it
might make sense to only provide one digest with the contents of both
lists in it.

I rather like clowns, meself. [grin] No, seriously, you have a good
point.  With every added complexity to anything as seemingly arcane as
mailing list subscriptions, you'll always get a few extra newbie
questions.  But, I'm sincerely trying to provide the best user
community infrastructure possible.  And this might be a necessary
step.  And I always try to remember that all I have to do is add
another entry to my .procmailrc file. [grin]
