- I think everyone who can see these postings has access to triangle.freenet,
- but isn't neccessarily interested in subscribing to all/any mailing lists.
- (i.e. Potential high traffic mailing lists can clutter people's mailers
- possibly interfering with or overwhelming work related mail.) Therefore,
- it would make more sense, IMHO, to forward all discussion groups mail to
- triangle.freenet, but do not bother forwarding anything in triangle.freenet
- to the mailing lists. People can then limit/concentrate their intake of
- 'Triangle Freenet' info via specific mailing list(s) and can occasionally
- check triangle.freenet for other tidbits they might be missing.
