OK Now I get why I'm having such "nice" responses to my suggestion. :) My Bad.
Bill Wrote: "I'm not sure you've given any reasons why a newsgroup is better than a mailing list, either." This was my bad: Please have in mind that I do not intent to say: "Newsgroup is better than mailing list". I don't agree with that. When I came, in my first mail, with the suggestion, "we move from a mailing list to a Newsgroup" I do not intend to say: "let's leave one to have another". I intended to say: "Both option can be available. If one wants, he changes to newsgroup, if not, keep on a mailing-list." I do intend to say, Newsgroup, in some scenarios, may have some advantages over a mailing list. I'm talking about having both and not one instead of another, even if, for my personal use, and others that may have the same scenario, this may be a "switch to better solution". For example, if you use a e-mail client like Outlook Express or Outlook with a newsreader: . You can search, in the same environment where you post or reply, the old posts. . You can distinguish more clearly the questions from the reply's. . You don't need to worry about bottom to top or top to bottom ways of seeing it. Bill, I was talking about this http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=GmailAndCssDiscuss and not the other one. Sorry for that. "Let us know how to register for it once you get it going." Sure Ok. I will only do that, however, if I believe I'm not on a solipsist movement here, that's why I've post this suggestion. Once again, sorry for the misinterpretation on the first e-mail with the suggestion. Kind Regards, Márcio Ps- "Go here: http://css-discuss.markmail.org/"; Thanks. It works really nice. "I liken this to suggesting that we help people remember the names of all fifty United States by rearranging geographically into alphabetical order." I will always ask why if, I don't understand why that is the BEST reason for doing it. So if I believe that there is a different way for memorizing the states, I will post it here. "I can understand this to some extent: You're saying that just because something has always been one way doesn't mean that's the right way." No. What I'm saying is "just because something has always been one way doesn't mean that's the BEST way. "I think David is saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I have to agree with David." Now that I've clarify that I was thinking about having both and not one instead of another, it's useless to think it as a fix and broke, and see it more like an add-on. But, I still don't agree with the fact that "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." IF you mean by that: "if it isn't broke, leave it that way". As an classical example: Kopernik developed the heliocentric theory. But, actually, the predictions made around those centuries were more connected with the geocentric theories then with heliocentric theories. Even if, we should be glad that Kopernik had developed that theory, even if, the system was not broken. "Convenient is subject to opinion." I believe everything is subject to opinion, that's why we should keep searching the best system. So, when someone states: "mailing list is more convenient then newsgroups", even if it's an opinion, it should be justified. "You're pretty clearly set on having a newsgroup and I think it's a great idea." Really? For the sound of your e-mail I was saying that you don't. AT ALL. :p ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
