This is an interesting development; I didn't realize
that universities were figuring out what all of this
was costing them ... Is this a widespread movement?
If it is, we should all be agitating that America OnLine
and Compuserve, etal, start providing mailing list
services as part of their subscription costs...
I would sure hate to see mailing lists die. Though years
ago I thought news groups were a smarter way to go, I have
found the huge volume and high noise to signal ratio makes them
less desirable all of the time.
Are we seeing a fast moving trend here?
