I wouldn't like this list to become a newsgroup. In fact, I don't like newsgroups. Some people I know use them well, but I can't. As a mailing list, I can follow the threads better than if it was a newsgroup. Also, as a mailing list, problems of jet lag become less important (in fact I feel so). Finally, I've got problems on those computers of the school to configurate the news server, so I thin I would lose contact with this list if it became a newsgroup. Definitely it must remain a mailing list. Christophe Grandsire |Sela Jemufan Atlinan C.G.
