     You know, it's possible that I could set up a science fiction forum

     mailing list. An actual list server and everything!

         Thomas C. Wilson, Jr. (t******n@c*****.******b.edu) somehow managed
         to write:

         : Mailing lists do exist for ICon logistics and for local (Stony
         Brook)

         : Forum social events. Some things are better in lists, others in
         Usenet.

         Actually, if we could get someone to set up a *gated* list, that
         goes

         to subscribers AND to alt.sf4m...

         SHHHHHHH!!! We don't need the Net Police hearing that, they have
         more

         than once tried to evict us from Usenet. If we move to a mailing
         list:

         1) We are quite unlikely to recruit new Forumites online.

         2) We also are far less likely for inactive and less active
         Forumites to

         stumble over us and be reassimilated.

         :(

         And by the way, mine's still longer...
