Nothing will prevent repeating constantly same discussions. Just try a convenient limitative list of keywords to find a topic on an internet search engine and result is almost always void or, at option, fills numerous pages with non-significant matches. On the over hand, Google groups given during several years convenient sets of results. So maybe to build a inn server from scratch coupled with mongodb would do the drill. But that will never replace a convenient set of humans coupled via an ML. -- Je suis née pour partager, non la haine, mais l'amour -- Sophocle (Antigone) _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
