Yes it was. Very so. By naming categories you are naming also which
users would use it (only users active in that category).

Mine too, that is why I suggested such a wide category of users. Call it
emacs-users then. A mailing list for non-developing emacs issues; or
user-related emacs issues. I would be awfully said if mathematicians
wouldn't subscribe because it says anthropolists and archeologists only :-).
