http://www.google.com/search?q=mlug lists dozens. Which do you have in mind?
But anyway, if KCLUG mailing list is not a good resource for your technical issues, don't use it for that. In my opinion KCLUG is a social organization as well as a forum with technical discussions too. I think splitting the list would exacerbate the problem.
Mailing list culture is an organic, free-market kind of thing, and trying to impose some kind of structure tends to make such things less vibrant.
So if those guys in Melbournewaulkeeidwayizzou have a split mailing list, with tech discussions on one channel and optional off-tech ranting on the other and that works for them I'm happy for them.
I enjoy the off-topic ranting. In fact I consider getting to read the off-topic ranting my payment for the occasional piece of useful advice I provide. Which is getting less and less often as I become progressively less of a young fart.

By looking at their mailing list archives, it seems that MLUG's application of this idea seems to have worked quite well for them...
Thoughts?
