I notice that on big conversation days for this list, someone always unsubscribes. I'd like to point out two things you can do if you sometime feel overwhelmed by the traffic now and then: 1. Switch to digest mode. You get fewer e-mails with messages put together and can read them in fewer sittings. You can change your settings at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss 2. You can have your e-mail client filter webware-discuss messages to a mailbox so they don't interfere with your Inbox, and then read them later. Just some ideas, -Chuck |

NNTP handles the overload quite nicely. I think the common assumption is that news == usenet. This is absolutely not true. Setting up a news server is no more difficult than setting up a mailing list. If we setup the list as a newsgroup, the gateway is only necessary for people who don't have or want to use a newsreader. A list to news gateway seems a little more involved. |

Also, I don't think I have machine that [a] I can set up news and [b] has a steady connection to the net. -Chuck |
