There's no "hard and fast" "rules" for this list other than for common
sense and for what people want. Trying to be consistent is good also.
It's all your list.

Posting from anyone shouldn't be discouraged either. Hence the present
bit o' debate...

Interesting idea and good if it's not going to be a 'passing fad'...


We've considered forums in the past and stuck with the maillist because
it is robust, has a long history, has archives, and everyone knows how
to use it easily...

I guess it suits a 'low impact' requirement from many people.

There's the NLUG IRC channel for those more online... ;-)

And we (I?) really need to pick up the NLUG website!

It's all your group!

Cheers,
Martin
