As someone who relatively recently signed up as an intnded lurker on both, having the divided lists suited me as I quickly realised the only list I was currently interested in was this one and unsubbed from HW-Rules. I'm interested in following via lurkage, the debates on how HW infleunces interpretation of Glorantha. I'm not (currently at least) at all interested in a higher volume list discussing HW Rules mechanics and variations thereof. So in a nut shell "hear, hear, for Nick and Jeff". - I suspect i may be in aminority however and in practice most folk will be subbed to both (he added in an undertone, moronically undermining his own arguement).
Whilst I'm here...

>As for the differences between Vampires and Zombies, I do feel that
zombies are not vampires because, although corpses, they do not have
the hunger for other people's blood.<
Also I think importantly vampires whilst strongly compelled to feed by their hunger are in control of their own action. Whereas Zombies are unthinking servants of whoever controls them.
Ok, there will be cases where weaker vampires are dominated by stronger ones, but that is due to a clash of 2 wills, on eof which is more powerful. Zombies have no will of their own.
