OK. So can you post to newsgroups? >However, I am inclined to think that a forum on metrication - the >process by which we 'go metric' might be more useful. Possibly. As with this mailing list, it is a fairly democratic process. The writers decide on the subtopics that they want to write about in the general forum. As the volume of postings increases, people see the subtopics chosen and call for subdivisions. We need votes to create a newsgroup. We can succeed in getting a newsgroup about the 'metric system' where all subtopics are valid (as long as enough people here vote). We are not yet able to raise enough votes for the initial creation of one or several subtopics. My main aim is to find out if people can post to newsgroups. Can you post?
