I don't like this convention. The name "gnu.emacs.help" does not particularly suggest to me that discussion for posts to gnu.emacs.sources should be followed up there -- that is, I have no certainty that program authors who post to .sources are also subscribed to .help, and little hope that they can find replies to their code submissions in .help, due to the relatively high volume of that group. Also, even if I am totally mistaken about my other assertions, I think if replies to posts in .sources include new/revised source code, it is disingenuous to tell people to send them to a different list. If we must insist on different destinations for source and comments, how about a separate, low-volume list (measured relative to gnu.emacs.help) called gnu.emacs.sources.discuss? -- Michael Olson -- FSF Associate Member #652 -- http://www.mwolson.org/ Interests: Lisp, text markup, protocols -- Jabber: mwolson_at_hcoop.net /` |\ | | | Projects: Emacs, Muse, ERC, EMMS, Planner, ErBot, DVC |_] | \| |_| Reclaim your digital rights by eliminating DRM.
