Are you in favor of gatewaying the l-cad@listserv.uh.edu mailing list with
the lugnet.cad newsgroup or a subgroup of it?  (This capability is 99.9%
already set up -- it just needs group approval and a switch thrown at each
end to make it a reality.)

I'd be for it, as long as it wasn't tied directly to lugnet.cad.  Make a
new group, lugnet.cad.dev or lugnet.maillist.lcad, or something.

Steve,

You're much more in touch with people's feeling on this issue than I am.

I don't know about that.

Are the issues purely technical, or partly socio-political as well?  I'm
sure that any technical hurdles are work-around-able with clever newsserver
customizations.

I don't think any of the issues are technical.  Actually, I'd like to
see a lot of the traffic from L-CAD move to lugnet.  But there's a lot
of other traffic that is more a private discussion among L-CAD'ers (like
hammering on whether to release a chrome or non-chromed antenna) that
doesn't really need to be on lugnet.

This is a very timely topic, since we managed to choke the list last
night.  Again.

Steve
