Subject:Usenet or Listserv To: Jeff Jones <[log in to unmask]> Hello Jeff, and thanks for your answer to my cry for help When I first joined the Internet (Only 3 months ago) I subscribed to quite a number of newsgroups before inadvertantly typing 'parkinsn' during a search and finding out about this list. Since then, I have progressively reduced the number of newsgroups that I subscribe to, until I am currently monitoring one newsgroup ( Dealing with my computer). The reason for deleting all the others was always the same: The volume of postings was too high, and 95% of it was sheer drivel. It took too much of my time to sort out the good 5%, so I got out. I would hate to see this very special list degenerate to the same level. The one point with which I have to agree is that as a closed list, the existence of the list may be unknown to many potential members (Unless they are as bad at typing as I am). Is it possible to leave some sort of a signpost in the usenet listings proclaiming our existence? i.e. some sort of advertising to spread the word. Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
