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

Thanks!
