Hey, Andy, I sort of disagree with your remarks as in: > I say, the more we segregate individual topic > streams, the more useful netnews will be. This segregation will NOT > affect the amount of data which flows, now will it? I dunno 'bout this...I subscribe to the theory that says that any new newsgroup will generate traffic, if only traffic of the form "What is this group for?" ... remember net.oa? How many messages did you see mis-posted/multiply-posted today? > I find it hard to belive that new netnews users find out about netnews > enough to know that it's there but not enough to find out that their > test messages will go all over the world. We find it hard to believe too...but we have THOUSANDS of them here...which is why we don't let student users post to the network. I would be willing to bet that many other university sites have the same problem. ---- Blizzard? What blizzard? -- Darth Wombat / rsk@purdue / pur-ee!rsk
