As a footnote to the recent thread on whether the lyx-users list should be available as a newsgroup -- this is one more reason that I favor a newsgroup for LyX. From my experience, newsgroups are far less cluttered with messages containing viruses and housekeeping messages like this one. I don't mean to critize Mate, who does a fine job as list manager, but it's the nature of the beast that unmoderated mailing lists are vulnerable to viruses and spam. In any case I'm not in favor of eliminating the mailing list, only of also offering the more efficient alternative of a newsgroup for those who prefer it. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
