Isn't each issuse of znet more than 10KB or so in size? Wouldn't it waste a lot of banwidth to send it all over the world? Atari.archive.umich.edu has archives of znet under the magazines/znet, would that be more efficent way? Also there is a mailing list for individual want to receive it when greg got it, thats how I got mine and probably how atari.archive got it too. I'll check for the mailing list address and post it, or maybe Greg is watching can post it . Tang sytang@lamar.colostate.edu

Last time posting was proposed lots of people screamed because of the cost; that's why I offered to run a mailing list in the first place.

There is little need to post a 60-70K article every week. This is not a flame, Jon knows my position on this matter. I'd just like everyone to be aware of the above fact. > > We require a majority vote for the posting.

It is also the case that some of the commercial plugs which appear in Z*Net are contrary to the accepted usage guidelines of the Internet and of Usenet. Expect controversy if you try to post it here. In short, even if the majority are in favour of having it posted here, I believe that it would be extremely inadvisable to do so. You might wish to set up an alt group to gateway it, along the lines of alt.society.cu-digest. mathew -- If you're a John Foxx fan, please mail me!

I haven't noticed subscription info posted here for a long time; could somebody please post how to do so? If I can get it via a mailing list, I'd vote against posting ZNet here.

In my opinion, to post these ZNet issues to the net is an abuse of the net. Regardless of the outcome of your informal poll, such postings should not be done. These articles are available to anyone who wants them to be mailed to them, and they are available at a well known archive site, eiter by e-mail order or by anonymous ftp.
