[Modus] Vircom needs to use a (NNTP) news server instead of this list

Title: Message

I also prefer this as a mail list. I need to know when a post has occured as I am often looking for a solution or feedback. I strongly suspect the list will settle down as the new wears off. On the other hand, this is a special community and I enjoy hearing the insights on topics other than the main issue. I would also hate to do anything that would cause us to miss the insights offered in Suneel's signature.

Whole threads could be bypassed. As it is, ten messages down the thread people are off on something else or just high-fiving each other.   I get more mail on this than all my other mailing lists combined.   Its just a mail server folks - there is life beyond it.   David Payer
