A news group would be nice. What happened to me today is but one example of why a NG would be advantageous. My mail server w= as moved from one server to another. During the time that the new server was running without the proper user database, I probably lost mail sent to me. It would be nice to be able to search for answers that have already been post= ed to questions. This could cut down on repetition. I also have a problem managing the large amount of mail that I get. Being on mailing lists, especially ones as busy as this, causes my mail management problem to increase greatly. I know basically what it takes. I have set up news servers with Netscape's Collaborate. I am not sure what resources this would take. My news groups a= re small. In a few months I may have resources capable of supporting a modest sized NG. As far as spammers go, kill 'em! Well, perhaps we could have a closed news group instead. There are ways of accomplishing this. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============4757061713430179245==--
