We do not write about machines any more. We use them. :-)
No serious, I guess about 80% is on non technical subjects and most of the
20% was about old machines or not yet existing ones.

I agree that it could be interesting to concentrate only on features and
tricks of a certain machine without bothering... ahmmm...

Yep, I do that on other lists.

Another idea would be to separate better even by subjects. We could put a
letter in front of the subject, indicating kinds like
Philosophy
history
Echoplex
JamMan
Vortex
Organization
...
So a smart mail soft could probably even separate what you are interested
in. And its simpler and more flexible than having various lists.

Stay and play
