RE: New Newsgroup

G'day folks,

The S/N ratio would drop dramaticly unless the vector newsgroup included
some form of
robo moderation. This moderation would insure the "minimal commercial
traffic" and "special vectorlist prices" policies that have become the norm
on this email list.

By the way, I don't think we have enough traffic (or members on the email
list) to merit a newsgroup. I think you have to have well over 30 messages
a day being sent to 100 people before a newsgroup is justified.

ps - Speaking of S/N ratios, do people fell that RGVAC's has dropped in the
last year? (Oops...did I just start an off-topic thread?)

As a most-of-the-time lurker, I tend to agree that it is better to keep
it mailing list. This is a niche group and it has a nice volume
and a good S/N ratio.

The real reasing I'm posting, is I need to move my subscription off
of my work email account and onto another personal one. I've lost
the directions on how to do this. I've tried sending some help
messages to the host site but I didn't get very far. Could someone
please post the unsubscribe and subscribe directions?

Thanks!
