The separation became a fact during my supervision. The charter till then adamantly included both Glorantha and RQ. As there was a definite interest in a separate rq list, Loren created such. At the same time, I had some trouble with the Digest - I was running it more or less on company resources and I wished to get rid of that conflict of interest. When Loren started the rules list I asked him if he could also host the "daily". Loren complied - and I believe that's now been three years, to the day.
