No, it's not. At one time, I would have strongly resisted having the
tcp-group mailing list gatewayed to Usenet.

I believe it was the intention from the start that this group not be cross
posted to usenet. Besides how can you call this a "large" mailing list? It
seems rather on the small side to me.

Well, it seems there are a lot of people on the list, and there is this
LISTSERV thing that manages the list, so it appears people are being
added automatically. It's just that I would prefer to read these messages
as netnews rather than email.
thanks,
Milo

Does this mean you wouldn't mind gatewaying the list now?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: More on stabilizing NOS
Mikes recent post and reply raises lots of important issues.
Regarding drivers and size... would it be practical to base the
various drivers on the ftp packet driver model, so they could run as
tsrs and the user would only need to load the one(s) he needs? That
might help solve the memory problem, by requiring only straight async
and packet drivers to be built into the main program. Gee, maybe even
the async could run through it, ala the driver scheme the PBBS software
(used) to use.
In any event, I think it's critical that any distribution version of NOS
include the ability to work with all known hardware.
I also agree with Mike's (and Bdale's) comment about beating the code to
death. I'm not particularly well equipped to do this, since we don't
have a lot of activity in the area, but I don't think there'd be any
problem getting enough folks on the list to contribute their own
attempts at codebusting.
And, once again, I want to push the need for a distribution EXE file --
you simply ain't gonna get Joe Ham to buy Borland C++ in order to get on
TCP, and if we're going to rely on a local good guy to generate the EXE,
we're going to have lots of slightly different "standard" versions --
which any support person will tell you is the world's worst nightmare.
2 cents worth given, mouth now shut.

It seems to me that all you have to do is ask your sysadmin to set up
a mail alias that gateways to a local newsgroup just for you. Anything
else will involve a formal call for discussion, and whatever else is
involved in getting a new newsgroup going, and this mailing list
probably is not big enough to justify that.
