Another option available is to split net.books into net.books.list, net.books.reviews, net.books.misc., etc. but this is rather ridiculous. I see nothing in the charter that prohibits reviews, lists or any other discussions on net.books. This same type of argument is seen on all of the various net.xxxx and does represent a legitimate viewpoint. BUT, I believe that it is a minority viewpoint. I will keep track of the various postings and/or mail to me on this point. If there is enough to warrent it, I will post a summary. I will say this, to date it is running over 10:1 in my favor (but with an extremely limited sampling!). There is enough interest in the lists as to bombard me with request, additions, corrections, etc., which I am keeping up with. I am going to stop daily postings of listings, however, and try to do them once a week. I am also trying to get some help in pre-posting proofreading of the lists so as to avoid errors and immediate corrections. Thanks for all of the comments, --Bill-- tektronix!tekigm2!wrd
