Some on the list have expressed an interest in reading Museum-L on Netnews rather than on e-mail. For some, this is a better option than receiving numerous e-mail messages each day, especially since the list has grown to nearly 1000 subscribers. I agree that the many email messages can be a problem, but I solved it by setting my options to "digest". Now I have one big message at the start of the day. If there is to be a gateway, the newsgroup should be moderated. The level of discussion on 90% of the newsgroups is miles below that of nearly any mailing list - on newsgroups the signal gets lost in the noise (for an example, look at sci.archaeology, which is almost exclusively devoted to one or two fringe topics, having very little "sci"). -- Bob Rogers Internet: [log in to unmask] Instrumental, Inc.
