I mean... that'd make people look in three different places for answers when the answer could just be answered in one. I can understand that some people don't want to see a huge volume of email every day... try digest... or even try the archives. I myself was considering making a small website with better 'features' than the current archive has to help search (multi-part) or even list by certain values, such as threads and what not. > So, feedback is needed: Good idea?

I think it'd end up meaning those that are interested in helping out with TB, and helping other users get the most will mean they then have to watch two different locations instead of just the one. I don't know about some people on here, but I know I barely get enough time to answer personal emails sometimes, let alone list emails. > This server currently hosts my personal site, which has been up two > months and receives several hundred hits weekly.

[ja@vampire ja]$ uptime 9:52am up 292 days, 23:29, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 :) I have several other servers too, but that one has the average up time. I guess another idea is to... (I know some will cringe at the idea)... create a news-bot type thing, see if it can be linked in with the list (I believe they're running mailman which does have news support I think), and then that just makes a 'copy' of the list in news format, allowing those who want to, read what they want at their leisure, along with downloading only the postings they are interested in. I guess that is just another idea in the pot. :) - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt iQA/AwUBPbVn/CuD6BT4/R9zEQJKcwCfahqCVyW7zMfEOJiXedBnEhnVbnkAnjBR Bcz1uSxXZK4ZAF4tonuN4vN3 =FByD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
