Personally, I have grown to despise http-list and the associated front-ends having used them for several years. NNTP is fine with me, but very insecure for those running the servers via header forging. The last few nntp lists I was following have now gone to mail due to problems of this nature. Splitting the mailing-list allows the supporters/users to filter to a larger degree. However, if it is a single high-volume list, the problems remains the same. I don't see where a newleaf-user will make a large difference other than more cross-posting. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
