Every few weeks I post articles to news.announce.newusers describing
some history and useful information for users. Traditionally, I have
also posted "diff" listings of some of these postings so that long-time
users could tell when changes occurred and what those changes entailed.
Recently, a couple of people have complained about my posting the diffs.
I asked for mailed feedback. I got 11 responses:
4 said to stop posting the diffs to news.announce.newusers
3 said to keep posting the diffs to news.announce.newusers
1 suggested I post the diffs to a different group
1 suggested a different format for the diffs, but keep
them in news.announce.newusers
1 person liked the diffs, but I couldn't tell from his
response exactly what he recommended.
Thus, due to the overwhelming feedback received, I'm going to continue
as before. :-)
