Please don't post lengthy articles to this newsgroup (net.lang.prolog) and also to prolog-digest@su-score. You will note that Prolog Digest goes to this news group anyway. Lately the redundancy and volume have been very high. People who pay phone bills will soon start cancelling net.lang.prolog unless we clean up our act. Please be considerate. Also, when someone asks a question consider responding to the asker instead of to the net, especially when (A) the answer is long, or (B) the question is not of particularly general interest.

> Please don't post lengthy articles to this newsgroup (net.lang.prolog) > and also to prolog-digest@su-score. That's not what people are doing. The moderator of the Prolog Digest is picking up articles of interest from net.lang.prolog and putting them into the mailing list for the ARPAnet (often with mangled return addresses, but that's another issue). Then the Digest gets gatewayed back onto Usenet. I've had several articles appear twice in this way. I don't think there's anything wrong with this newsgroup. The signal-to-noise ratio is very high by Usenet standards. (And let's all shut up from now on about whether there's too much traffic, since we just create more traffic by talking about it.)
