Re; USENET



Yes, that is the whole point.
on a BBS you can ignore threads that you don't find interesting.
On a mailing list everything shows up in your in-box.
The signal-to-noise ratio should be accordingly much higher.

I vote for making a USENET group.

well we can't really react to such views other than by agreeing to the
"beam off the list" request. After all every single thread is boring
and noise to some considerable fraction of the readers.
