Good feedback and I understand you concern and I think I have
a solution.

History: I'm told by the persistence folks that there will
be alot of email traffic from that team with detailed or deep dive
discussions and so they wanted to have their own alias. So I expect
alot of traffic. Marina, Tom?

Given that we have a new persistence alias and people
on the dev alias may be interested in what is going on there at least
for the time being, I'm trying to
get a digest of the emails from the persistence alias and
send that to the dev alias so that we all can see what is going on.
I'm currently working with the java.net folks since I'm having
problems getting this to work. Assuming this works, I think this is
a good solution. Thoughts?
