It is a good thing that I am part of plug-org but I am not sure if I will be part of the PLUG members only list. I honestly think that this is a bad idea -- separating a members only list and the original list. (PLUG-ORG is ok since this is mostly for the organization's operations).
Anyway, going back to the original mailing list - I think you should use it for PLUG members-only as well to encourage those who are using it to become members. Having a separate list (like plug-newbies) will only separate the attention of those who wants to help out. I mean, we are a small group and dividing it into factions is not a good idea and besides, non-members will see what membership to the organization can give them if they see the benefits. :D On Tue, 21 Dec 2004 07:42:09 -0000, Marvin T.
