With immediate effect I am mirroring the email list to
alt.autos.****sche928 on usenet. alt.autos.****sche928 is from what I can
see an abandoned group but is already set up and replicates worldwide to
local news servers on your ISP network. Usenet is a distributed Internet
discussion system that has been around since 1979 and there is almost
certainly a usenet new server (also known as an nntp server) on your
ISP's network which you can access. On BT for example
news.btinternet.com is the news server.
I think you will find this to be a great enhancement to 928uk. You can
use news readers like Mozilla Thunderbird, Outlook Express, and many
many more to read the discussion or you can just stay as you are and
receive the list in email. Newsreaders can track threaded discussions,
mark the ones you are interested in, blot out people you dont care to
hear from ever again etc etc.
I am going to discontinue the forum experiment as I dont think its
working.
Because postings on usenet are not moderated, There is a chance you will
see more invitations to rescue hidden african money, date nubile russian
ladies, lose weight, get more performance and of course invest in must
buy stocks. There may also be more offensive material on the usenet side
of things. But its a quiet group and I think the benefits outweigh the
risks.
I have set all options to hid email addresses and reply to the list - on
usenet you really ought to keep your posting identity secret or you will
drown in junk email.
Its an experiment. I can change it as we try it out.
Join in the fun
Angus
