     Hardly anyone posts here. New people check in, see nothing but sex
     posts,

     and leave.

     Well, it is ceratinly better than wading through all these anal sex and

     "fuck me now" posts!

         Another alternative to a mailing list is creating a discussion Forum
         on

         Dejanews. See: http://www.dejanews.com/help/help_mf.shtml . It works
         just

         like a newsgroup, only we would have much more control and there
         would be no

         annoying propogation problems we have with alt.sf4m (i.e. seeing
         replies to

         a post before the post itself or never seeing the post at all).
