1998.12.07 16:12 "Re: Future of the list & possible newsgroup?", by Sim Zacks
I think that if you posted all mail to the newsgroup and all newsgroup to the mail list, we'd have an endless loop. You'd get the mail, and automatically put it in the newsgroup, which would then automatically send it to the mailing list which would put it again in the newsgroup. The good thing about a newsgroup over the maillling list is you can see what people answer to other people so you don't have to keep reasking the same questions over and over. Also people who don't want it don't have to look at it or worry about unsubscribing. ---------- From: Phillip Crews[SMTP:pcrews@cerious.com] Reply To: pcrews@cerious.com Sent: Monday, December 07, 1998 10:19 AM To: tiff@sgi.com Subject: Re: Future of the list & possible newsgroup? I'm sending this message to both the trial cerious.tifflist newsgroup (news://news.cerious.com/cerious.tifflist) and to the TIFF mailing list. Since peopole like both ideas (newsgroup and mailing list), if you know of a mailing list-to-news gateway, let me know. I would be more than happy to automatically post mailing list messages here for posterity and browsing. If desired, and if software is available to do so, I could also send newsgroup postings to the mailing list. Perhaps this would be the best of both worlds. (Or perhaps it would drive people mad). Let me know what you all think! Cheers, Phillip Crews Cerious Software, Inc.
