eug.comp.os.linux is still there... I checked it the other day... I never get
posts to it since we started the mialing list... When we started the
newsgroup, there were maybe 6 people that posted to it, readership is
unknown... but when we setup the mailing list,posting grew dramatically....
There is no reason we cant use both.... just nobody seems to want to use
the newsgroup... sigh The mailing list has had some problems lately, and
subscribing seems to be next to impossible for some, and seth whines about
the mailing list just about every chance he gets...but it has been pretty
useful.
I setup a webpage that makes it really easy for people to subscribe to the
mailinglist, but aparently even that is too much trouble for some.
