        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?
