A. "Biep" Durieux) Organization: VU Informatica, Amsterdam Lines: 20 Keywords: mod, censorship Summary: Reply to mailing list proposal [Is this a bug or such? I only receive first lines...] The main argument (for me) against mailing lists is that they are invisible for the net. If I don't know they exist, I may miss very interesting discussions. Further, if all interesting discussions are to be replaced to mailing lists, the newsgroups will become really unbear- able. Finally, it seems to be a sort of "leave the sinking ship" mentality. Since my first proposal (keyword selection) seems to be rejected (response nihil until now), I propose net.{motts|singles|anygroup}.only. Anybody posting to such a group declares by doing so to be a member of whatever is appropiate. How many garbage would be left in net.motts.only? Biep. P.S.: Let's build net.religion.christian[.only], to build a place for christians. Why does only ".jewish" exist? {seismo|decvax|philabs}!mcvax!vu44!botter!klipper!biep
