Re: Hello, world ?
If by "tend to" you mean "usually," I'm not sure if I agree. But yes, it's often the case. > (A selective archiving of a mailing-list, maybe ??) That's definitely an interesting option. I may eventually have an even better solution for those cases. Been thinking of going the wiki way with the whole site... That'll require a lot of programming work though so it won't happen today. > But I can see how it might be handy for a casual browser who wasn't ready to commit themselves to subscribing to a mailing-list. Personally, I don't find web-based things nearly as convenient for discussion - typing this into Mozilla's text-entry thing is just tedious compared with <insert name of favourite editor>. One more good argument for each solution. ;-) > But I like this one compared with mos, for its absence of demands for logins, passwords, email addresses, etc, it's as straightforward as it could be ... I may eventually introduce a voluntary registering system (mainly to allow people to protect their signature), but I'm pretty confident I can avoid a *mandatory* one. > Basically, my problem is that the list's gone to Yahoo, and I'm not happy about that, given theway that last time I wa signed up to one of their lists they sold my address to the pammers, so I don't want to go near them again. Hmmm, I've never heard of that happening before. It's definitely against Yahoo's current privacy statement. There was a time when Yahoo followed a much more agressive policy but they seem to have learned from their mistakes. Yahoo today is in all ways a much nicer place than it was a few years ago. > But I don't want to lose contact with ABC discussion, either. Nuisance. My preference would be for a newsgroup, really, but there doesn't eem to be much enthusiasm for that. Unfortunately spam has given the newsgroups such a bad name most people won't go near them these days. ReplyA word of cautionDo not post your email address at this or any other internet forum unless you have a good reason to do so. The entire internet is infected with "spambots" - robots that search pages looking for email addresses. The more places you post your email address, the more spam you'll get. :-( |
