RE: [U2] Nabble (was Re: Documentation errors (was Get a grip))
Ok, it got posted 2x. Don't know why, maybe something I did. I sent it 9:48 PDT. 2 copies are in my email inbox at 10:08. A 20 minute lag, but I think that lag is on u2-users list side. It (or I?) also deleted a line from my reply that said something like Clifton Oliver wrote:. That was supposed to appear above As to archive... line. I like the view this message in context+URL line. Clicking on the URL shows the message in-thread. Cool. Nabble seems to reconstruct threads, but I'll bet it has to guess at exactly what is a response to exactly which previous post. History seems to go back to Spring 2005. So how does this work? Who set it up? I assume Nabble is a list subscriber and gleans from it to build its own database? But it has to be more than that. It posted my email to the list as from me. I registered as cstevenson so that appears instead of my email address as will appear with this current post, which I am sending as email outside nabble. Otherwise you can't really tell it came via Nabble except for the useful URL tacked onto the bottom. Chuck S P.S. I also just got an alert from Nabble that Chuck B had responded to my post. Said alert rated Chuck's response with 3 Stars(!) gave me a Nabble url to it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cstevenson Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 9:49 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Nabble (was Re: Documentation errors (was Get a grip)) I did not know about access to u2-userss via Nabble until Clif's post.

From: Charles Barouch Unless you are already registered, Nabble replies bounce. I send out a lot of e-mails to peopl who get caught in the bounce filter because of this and invite them to join. We get a lot of our newer members that way. That means people know about the forum via Nabble and there is probably a population that prefers that web-user interface over email. This is good. Chuck, is this the source of some of those messages you sometimes post on behalf of non-list-members? Maybe we need an option to subscribe, but not receive either digest or individual posts, but that would allow people to post via Nabble. I'm still not sure how we got in bed with Nabble, or rather, how they crawled in bed with us. What are they doing under the covers! Hey, who else are we sleeping with? Google? Yahoo?

Maybe we need an option to subscribe, but not receive either digest or individual posts, but that would allow people to post via Nabble. With Majordomo (we are still using it, aren't we?) there's a 'restrict' post option, which doesn't get emails, but which is allowed to post. The format in the CONFIG file is: restrict_post = u2-uses:u2-users-digest:restrictedlist I don't know if that's a viable option, but on my server, I put my work email address in the restrictedlist file so I can post to my wife's groups in an emergency, like when my home email address is down...

You CAN, however, subscribe to the -digest list, and still post to the regular list from Nabble.

Re: [U2] Nabble (was Re: Documentation errors (was Get a grip))
Chuck, Yes. I often repost for Nabble and GMane users. I also post a lot for subscribed users who forget which e-mail name has subscription rights. Occasionally, people send to 'List Owner' instead of sending to the lists, so I push those as well. As to how we got into bed with them, since our rules don't prohibit what they do, they took it on themselves to re-post us. both groups post *a lot* of other lists in addition to ours. - Chuck --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
