Re: [Plug] PLUG Meeting Subject-Suggestion!!
|
I just figure it this way, it works now and it is open, we do not get alot
of spam, if any, maybee when the list gets bigger, but till then, it is
safe to keep it as is. I get a 24000 connection at home, sure it takes a
little while, but that only happens how often?

:Open/Closed mailing lists - they both have advantages and they both have

:Most of the mailing lists I've been involved in (and thats in the 10's -
:not the hundreds) have been restricted to subscribers - purpose being that
:they did not want to become "newsgroups" with poor signal/noise ratios.
:(and a large number of those mailing lists were Linux related).
:If PLUG wants an open mailing list, no problem!! - but for those of us that
:get their mail from home via a 33.6-56k connection instead of from work via
:a T1, it gets frustrating at times to deal with problems like this.
:So for those of you in the driving seat and making decisions - don't get so
:defensive!!
:Maybe we need to revisit the discussion we had a few months ago about
:turning the PLUG mailing list into a newsgroup (for real!) - then EVERYONE
:can not only post but also get the messages without having to subscribe.
:Just another tuppence worth!!
