I am in favor of setting up a newsgroup. It would be great both for archival purposes and for convenience in filtering unwanted messages. I personally have a limited quota, so the convenience of having a newsgroup would allow me to only store those articles which I find useful in my account, and would reduce the frequency required for me to stay under quota by cleaning my account. I think a hybrid system could be formed whereby those who want to use netnews may, while others may still subscribe to netcfdgroup. I believe GIS-L(the mailing group) and comp.infosystems.gis(netnews) carry the same articles(I am guessing, since I do not subscribe to GIS-L but read comp.infosystems.gis), and others have both methods as well. ----------- Patrick Kinnicutt (617) 428-8367(h) chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (617) 253-3883(o) Department of Civil Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Mailing Address: /* Any ideas are entirely my own unless otherwise */ ---------------- /* stated. */ Patrick Kinnicutt MIT Branch P.O.
