My personal vote on the new list/group thing is to maintain the status quo, but that is due to my inability to get either the alt.* or rec.* newsgroups. My Internet access is via my employer, who, in their infinite wisdom has elected to filter out certain newsgroups :-( However, I can get e-mail, so the list-server approach is my only choice at the moment. I wonder if someone should go wander the UseNet groups periodically, and "advertise" the fact that BEE-L exists, possibly with a quick note on how to subscribe, get help, etc. Then again, how much traffic do we really want on this list?? The advantage of the newsgroup is that the user polls the newserver to get info, instead of having your inbox fill up with stuff. If traffic volume gets too heavy on BEE-L, we may start loosing folks who don't want to wade through all the mail. To answer the FAQ problem, maybe someone should start accumulating a FAQ sheet, which could be posted to the list periodically, and e-mailed directly to folks asking FAQs. I may regret this, but...... I am willing to start accumulating a FAQ sheet for BEE-L. Please e-mail your suggestions to [log in to unmask] I will start distributing the FAQ to the list once a month, unless y'all ask me to stop. I will also try to monitor the list, and forward a copy of the FAQ to anyone who asks a question that happens to be on it. Of course - I wouldn't mind help, so anyone interested in helping, please let me know. Sincerely, Rick Hough [log in to unmask] PS - Any of you bee BBS operators out there that might already have a FAQ sheet that you are willing to share, I would love to use that as a starting place.
