[comp.sys.apple] A BITnet listserv...

SJDMK@UNO.BITNET (07/28/87)

I got a second copy of one of the messages today. It was different from the
first in that it seemed to come from a BITnet listserver. I sent some commands
and sure enough, the listserv at NDSUVM1 redistributes INFO-APPLE.

Now for a question: Should those of us on BITnet subscribe through the
listserv in order to cut down on traffic between ARPAnet and BITnet?
If so, why wasn't the fact that we had a listserv published?

Thanks,

                                 Steve

I don't know why people weren't informed.  I noticed the comp.sys.apple
in our listserv as soon as it came up.  At the time I was subscribed
to Info-Apple.  I was getting the same things from both sources usually,
and sometimes more from listserv than in the mailings from Info-Apple.
     
So, . . .  I just un-subscribed to Info-Apple.
     
I find myself wondering after reading the posting from someone else
who just 'found' comp.sys.apple on listserv, how many people on
bitnet use listserv and how many get mail from Info-Apple?
     
This is sort of an informal survey.  Please reply via e-mail if
you are a bitnet user reading this message.
       take care,
                                     -Bri
