[MAS-announce] Invitation to join the mas-discuss list

[Jim C. <jt...@di...>]

This email is an invitation to all subscribers of the mas-announce mailing
list to join the mas-discuss mailing list to participate in discussions
about MAS, including helping each other out with problems, as well as MAS
tips and tricks, and other discussion related to how to use MAS.

The reason I'm sending this announcement is that a couple MAS users have
asked me if there is a user group and/or mailing list for discussing MAS
issues, and I think that the mas-discuss list is the appropriate forum for
such discussions.  I also suspect that as the user base for MAS grows,
the discuss list is likely to become more active and, as a result, more
helpful and valuable to those who subscribe.  As well, I suspect that
some of you who have not subscribed to mas-discuss would be interested
in such a forum.  This email is therefore intended to serve as an initial
"push" to encourage this forum to develop.

I should mention that I have had offers from MAS users to fill the role of
a moderator for the list, for the purpose of leading and encouraging
discussions and perhaps excercising some control over irrelevant posts.  I
think this is not necessary at this point.  Rather, I think that the list
members can excerise their own self-discipline, as well as encouraging
each other's enthusiasm about ways to more effectively use MAS.


Best wishes and good trading!
