Do you have ideas for addressing the scaling problems of large
mailing lists?
I've been thinking about this a lot, and the best idea that I've
come up with is to use an edited ezine format for internet-based
conversations that are intended to attract many participants. A
live example of this idea (still in its early stages) is online
at http://integrity-in-politics.com/
What do you think about this approach?
Warm greetings,
Norbert
