I agree with Nathan, Hans and Scott R. There is great benefit to separate autonomous groups. Yes the BYU republicans are affiliated with an off canpus group but they don't share a mailing list with any other group.. I know that because of their affiliations, BYUSA watches them closely. This is mainly a matter of politics. If we stay away from affiliations, then we know BYUSA won't start looking over our shoulder.
Are there really people who stay away from UUG meetings because they haven't shaved in a while? BYU does not enforce grooming standards for campus visitors... perhaps they do for dress codes (so no short-shorts or bare mid-riffs at UUG meetings)... hopefully PLUGrs don't dress this way anyway. :) I vote keeping the lists separate, but having a meeting on Procmail cooking (including how to remove crosspost duplicates)... People should then feel free to crosspost. This link has such a recipe: http://www.bu.edu/systems-support/software/mail/procmailex.html -matt On Fri, 31 Oct 2003, Nathan R.
