It may be worth trying to write a short sentence describing the purpose of
each list. The kind of sentence new users will see when deciding which
lists to subscribe to.

Personally - I think it's going to be difficult to come up with a clear
distinction between the general and operators lists, and if there is no
clear distinction, I see no value in separate lists.. B2 (or B1) would be
my preference.

Thanks,
Kiall
