Good Morning,

  In an effort to help reduce general SPAM and virus spreading through
  this mailing list, I'd like to suggest removal of the mailing list to
  news group interface. I don't think that anyone is using it anymore,
  but I'd like to verify that before taking this action.

  The newsgroup was created many years ago when that form of communication
  was much easier on folks. With modern mailing lists with archives and
  interfaces to allow different mail delivery options, it's no longer
  really needed.

  Any objections? Speak by 12/31 or forever hold your piece.

Ciao,

Eeek!  Well, it's how I read it.   I am a usenet addict and completely
dislike mailing lists.  Then again, I'm a geek that way. :/


(Plus took me a while to get the german newsserver to add the austin.
heirarchy).

Before you criticize someone you should walk a mile in their shoes. That
way when they get angry, you're a mile away and have their shoes.

  I've been waiting to see how much negative response I'd get.

  Unfortunately it was only 2 people against and a lot of people for it,
  so the interface is in all likelihood going away. For those who don't
  like mailing lists, they can use the mailing list archives to view
  messages. They can be found at:

http://www.ansteorra.org/mailman/listinfo/bryn-gwlad

  The link is right at the top of the page.

  In order to post messages you should subscribe and set yourself to
  'nomail' just as you should have when reading via Usenet. You can
  still post but they will be held until I have time to go through the
  held messages (mostly SPAM so not frequent) and approve the post.

Ciao,
