Would someone like to >write an attractive proposal for a newgroup and post it to alt.config? >-- >[log in to unmask] > > I have been writing an article about Parkinson's disease on the internet, and when I came to news groups, I was happy that I didn't have to explain why there was a listserv and a news group both. News groups have the advantage of being organized in threads. But that's the only advantage that I know of. To me, the news groups would be another place to look for pretty much the same data that are in this listserv, and perhaps another place to post them. This would be an annoyance. It would also seem to be hard to archive, as the news group items are purged regularly. Perhaps I'm wrong. If so, please educate me. Arthur Hirsch [log in to unmask] Lewisville, TX
