Hi Andy
Is there any way to gate the IFWP list to a Usenet newsgroup?
I find the number of messages a real impediment to my being able
to participate in the mailing list as I don't have adequate
mailbox space to be able to deal with it.
Thus old messages I want to answer get lost in the slew of new
messages, and my mailbox is continually filling up faster than
I can keep track of it.
I end up spending more time cleaning out my mailbox by necessity
than I am able to spend contributing to the list.
Would it be possible for you to gate the mailing list to an
alt.xxxx newsgroup?
The newsgroup technology is much more open and accessible and
inviting of participation by people who don't have large
mailbox space.
It is an advanced way of dealing with forums, i.e. an advance over
mailing list.
Let me know what is possible about this. It would be a good sign
for the new year if there were a change that made it more possible
for people to participate in the IFWP process.
With best wishes for the new year
Ronda
P.S. thanks for what you have done to maintain this difficult list.
