" Add Link to the Archive before Sending to List Members "
i like this idea, my only worry might be adding to much delay but we already add junk to user mailing list posts anyway and it does not seem to cause any problems. i think we should also add a link to a page soliciting sponsorship/funding at the bottom of every post to the user mailing list. People should be encouraged to post summaries of long/important threads and add lots of keywords to make them easier to search for. Any ways to encourage people to write summary reports would be helpful, in fact i hereby request that people ask/tell me to summaries any long threads that i start, or that i post in many times. Sincerely Alan Horkan PS remember the brain dump i sent last week? i think the mailing list archive software could stand to be a bit more flexible, more general data should make it easier to find what one is looking for as well as making thinks like summary posts and AWN easier.
