GRIN, I don't want to fill the list with more chatter..   but peercon.org.. ([EMAIL PROTECTED])   (JOIN [EMAIL PROTECTED])   and other (future) peercon lists would be a place where many of us with Vircom and other common backgrounds can gather, without cluttering up Vircom's lists.   Cary Fitch ----- Original Message ----- From: Drew Salmon To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 2:13 PM Subject: [Modus] Vircom needs to use a (NNTP) news server instead of this list I prefer the immediate messages.  John T was right, since we are not getting any more spam it is nice to click send & receive every now and again and actually get a valid piece of email.  Many of us rely on this list to get & give assistance when Vircom is celebrating Canada Day, Victoria Day, after hours, or the like.  LOL  What is the point of having a forum which sends you a notice.  You still get an email AND THEN you have to go somewhere else if you want to read the post.  Nay!   Drew   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Roberts Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Vircom needs to use a (NNTP) news server instead of this list   Web based forums are much less immediate no matter how you get notified.  How about you getting the list as a digest?    It has worked just fine for the last 5 years.   Take care, Mike Roberts ===================================== *DataWest Internet - www.datawest.net *Colorado Springs  - 888-304-5988 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Your Own ISP .com Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 12:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Vircom needs to use a (NNTP) news server instead of this list How about a happy in between? A web based forum where a user can be notified by email of every new post? This way those of us who don't want to see everything all the time don't have to, yet we are informed when we want to be etc..   Todd Routhier   -- ISP Board http://www.ISPboard.com ISP Info Exchange ----- Original Message ----- From: Del Hines To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 1:50 PM Subject: [Modus] Vircom needs to use a (NNTP) news server instead of this list   Counterpoint�   Personally, I prefer the mail list.   Agreed it carries a lot of unnecessary noise (of which I admit to have been a part of from time-to-time), but I like the real-time info in my inbox rather than having to occasionally monitor a forum or newsgroup.  I think maybe keep the list as is and create web-based, up-to-minute archives�   - Del       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Micha�l Gaudette Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Vircom needs to use a (NNTP) news server instead of this list   Actually, we are thinking of moving this to something else.  What exactly (forums, newsgroups) is not defined, but there is definitely a need for it.  We will let you know what we decide.   Regards,   ------------------------------------- Micha�l Gaudette, P.Eng., M.B.A. Product Manager Vircom Inc.

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
