Subject: [alt-beam] Re: comp.robotics.beam??
Hey, I reeaally like the newsgroup idea. I hate downloading a million
messages a day (not too far from the truth). By the way, who DOESN'T have
access to newsgroups?? For those who don't, is the some way of sending all
messages sent to the newsgroup to those induviduals who cannot access it.
But i thought the newsgroup would be a replacement anyway...
What if all messages sent to the newsgroup would be CCed (past tense of
carbon copy =)) to the list, or the other way around. That wouldn't be
all that much trouble...just a few mouseclicks, and that way you could have
your choice. I think that would be the best for everyone.
What do y'all think?>
Well, you can definitely count me in.
CYA,
Noam
