Some mailing list managers (mailman for example) allow auto-posting to news groups/servers. If a newsgroup was to be established, then a sort of cross-post could be established where anything posted to the newsgroup gets posted here, and visa-versa. In this situation, no extra moderators required, and whoever runs the news server/group can deal with that side. I can look into it if there is enough requests for it. It'll then give people the option to use newsgroup over mailing list. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Versatile Group Tel: 972 991 1370 x 205 ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
