From: Ron <FISCHER@Rutgers> I too am willing to act as the moderator for INFO-MICRO. Here at Rutgers Mel Pleasant is currently moderating HUMAN-NETS and WORKS. I have discussed the problems involved with moderating a digest with him. Based on that and my interest in microcomputing I am willing to moderate INFO-MICRO. (ron) -------

From: Ron <FISCHER@Rutgers> Keith, if you use the Emacs Babyl system to read bboards then digest format is not a problem. Digest format helps make net traffic more efficient (one large message as opposed to many small ones), is usually less redundant, and topics for discussion can be better defined. I think we could get this out of a digestified INFO-MICRO and not lose as long as the "intended" topics of discussion for the bboard remain open-ended. INFO-MICRO has acted very successfully as a catch-all for random info tidbits about micros. That is something I would not like to see change. If anyone would like to argue this point please reply to me, I guess we should keep from cluttering up INFO-MICRO. The consensus will be made known if some conclusion is reached. (ron) -------
