Hello everybody,

Somehow, I find it difficult to use mailing lists, maybe I am a too young computer and internet user but I can not see a single advantage. So I tried to look around for LyX discussion boards but can't find any. Do you know of any? Or is there any possibility to read the list in Google Groups (where I can have a sort of- discussion board-view)? Is a discussion board on LyX maybe planned? Or, is there any good application to read and participate in mailing lists?

Try news://news.gname.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general


This address does not work in Thunderbird, or Unison for Mac, nor  MacSOUP.

What would a working address be?

Wow, thanks for the many responses. I looked around at the many programs available but could find only two programs that looked nice (on the Mac OSXNews and Unison), of which only the latter was easy to configure, I guess I'll have to pay money for it. In Unison the address news.gmane.org works just fine.

Another thing I generally don't like about usenet oder mailing lists is the use of real names. Not that I would ever have written anything embarrasing in this group, but hey, you never know how you will look at things in a few years. And with search engines like http://123people.com/ coming up, privacy on the internet will become an even more important topic than it is today. (Having said that, I must admit to also be a GMail user... so where's privacy now...?)

But anyway, thanks for help once again, I'll buy this programme and hope to be helping other LyX users in future :)

Cheers,

Max
