I've recently started a mailing list called "Computers and Society" and had much more of an enthusiastic turnout than I expected!! (over 150 subscribers in the first two weeks!!) To avoid my being executed for monopolizing the communications lines here in Fort Collins, I'd like to propose that I gateway the digests into a NEW notes group called mod.comp-society mod.cas mod.comp-soc mod.c-and-society (or something else - vote on your favorite!) Anyway, if we decide to do this (and perhaps even if not) the machine that I'm posting on, hpcnof (Hewlett Packard, Colorado Networks Operation) will be soon connecting directly to gatech (thanks to Gene Spaffords generous offer!) so that the propagation times should be about 2 to 3 days from my original posting to being "out in the real world". (Why mention that? Because currently the propagation delay to get notes out of HP is terrible - at least 7 days - and that would be too much of a time delay for the digest.) What I'd like to hear is what people think of YANG (Yet Another News Group), and, if you like it, suggestions on a decent name. Thanks! --- Dave Taylor hplabs!hpcnou!dat
