I would not like to see that happen.  There are many issues than
span all ranges, and many librarians that serve more than one school
level population - I, for example, would be considered an
elementary, middle school and academic librarian as I am in a preK-8
school which is also a graduate school of education.  Also, people
in different settings might nevertheless have some good suggestions
for their colleagues in other situations.
        I understand the time problem very well.  It is a "mailbox space"
issue too.  But perhaps the answer is to set digest on the list
instead.
