I have received 3 lugnet.trains mail echo posts since you turned it on for me.
Since the instructions were rather vague, I presume it's currently a human (you
:-) ) processing the requests...
Seems to be working fine. Can you turn off "trains" for me? On reflection, I
think a mail echo, for me anyway, is most useful for very low traffic groups
that I don't want to have to check on just to discover no activity, but
nevertheless have an interest.
(the hot groups list is useful but imprecise unless I use it exactly once an
hour, or exactly once every 24 hours. not likely.. :-) )
Long (1) term if you turn 8080 on again, I will probably go that route.
The web interface is nice but the programming effort to get it to be as good as
a full featured news interface (which can cache arbitrary context information
locally) is likely to be quite high. I'd rather see you spend your effort
elsewhere (2)
1 - well... medium term. Long term the native interface will be so spiffy and
integrated with other media and databases that I'll want to use it again.
2 - Yes, this is a reversal of my previous opinion, which was evidenced by all
those requests for enhancements. But I want my LUGNET house site... :-)

| (...) Yes, currently by hand...one step at a time. :) I have some things in mind for auto-administration of subscription lists because I won't want to do it by hand forever. It won't be very fancy but it'll get the job done. --Todd (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
