Dear Members, As some of you already know, we have created a newsgroup called bit.listserv.umich.cssa for better communication within CSSA. We recommend people to switch from cssa@umich.edu mailing list to the newsgroup. Upon our request, Google has added our newsgroup into its archives in groups.google.com. This means that now we can read the newsgroup from google website. Go to groups.google.com, and search "bit.listserv.umich.cssa", then you can read this newsgroup on web. No matter where you are, as long as you have a web browser, you can access this newsgroup. After registering a free account from google.com, you can post message into this newsgroup as well. More than just reading and posting, you can also use google search engine to search the entire content of our newsgroup. For those who have not heart of our newsgroup, please check our previous post. I attached one here for your information: ============================== Dear CSSA friends, Based on the recommendation of some cssa members, we have created a Usenet newsgroup bit.listserv.umich.cssa for communication within cssa. Currently there is a gateway has been setup to synchronize the newsgroup bit.listserv.umich.cssa and our existent mailing list cssa@umich.edu. The mail to news gateway works property right now. Every email sent to cssa@umich.edu will be posted in the newsgroup. However, we still experience problem for the news to mail gateway, and we are working on that. The benefit of newsgroup is that all the messages are stored somewhere on the internet, not in your personal mailboxes. Unlike mailing list, you receive tons of emails everyday, most of which may not be very relevent to you. You may have to delete lots of email everyday to keep your mailbox size under quota; you may have to looking through many emails to find a piece of important message if you use university accounts to receive cssa emails. By using newsgroup, all these headaches are gone. Newsgroup can be accessed by programs that you are familiar with such Pine, Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator. For thoese who haven't used newsgroup before, a tutorial on how to read newsgroup news in Pine can be found here http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~chengx/cssastuff/news.htm. Thanks!
