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

[Drew Salmon]

Touché Larry!   Bottom line, if we so choose we can start our own list for these types of discussions.  As I said before, I would have no problem hosting such a list here.   Drew   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Essary Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 3:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Vircom needs to use a (NNTP) news server instead of this list   At 01:25 PM 11/7/03, you wrote: You guys talk too much!   I think moving this to a newsgroup server would be quite helpful. 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 This may be true but there is a lot of golden information on other subjects that get passed along in here. History shows that if you took 10 of the topics in  here and broke them out in to 10 separate servers that people would not subscribe to them.    I think it has a lot to do with the level of comfort we all have with each other in here. It also has a lot to do with the fact that it is a Vircom list. (The good Vircom). There are just a lot of dynamics with this particular list.  Yes, I get a ton of mail from here as well and at times its over whelming...but the golden information from time to time in here makes reviewing it all worth while. Of course Vircom has the only say in how there list is run.   I'm sure glad that Sylvain is back. Larry Essary
