I have been following all this, and the thread in lugnet.admin.general, and
would like to chime in a little.
Overall, I support this whole idea. LCad as a mailing list has its share of
annoyances to me. Perhaps a dedicated group here would be better.
Bram is a special case, as his access is via Juno. Another special case I know
of is James Jessimans mother. Although I have not checked lately if she is
still subscribed to LCad, I assume she is. And she has said before that she
follows along with what we do, and enjoys it.
It is my understanding that she is not technically savvy about all things
computer, so being able to continue getting LCad information by email is a
definite plus, as I don't know if she has any newsreader experience.
Now, whether she will be able to send a request to be added or if we would need
to have Todd set it up "by hand" is unkown.
