-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I said I wanted a volunteer to run a news-to-mail mirror of
comp.os.linux.announce. Mark W. Eichin reminded of the one he's
run for several years, now. Oops. Silly me.
The wonder of Linux: whenever I get a good idea, it seems someone's already
implemented it. :-)
To receive announcements by mail, send mail to
Linux-Announce-Request@NEWS-DIGESTS.MIT.EDU with the word "subscribe"
(without the quotes) as the first line of the message (nothing else on
the line).
I will stop sending messages to the old list (linux-announce@vger)
after two weeks, around February 10. If you subscribe to the old list,
please subscribe to the new list by then. You probably also want to
unsubscribe from the vger list; send a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
with the words "unsubscribe linux-announce" (without the quotes) as the only
thing on the first line of the message. Note that vger is rather overloaded,
and it may take a couple of days to get a response. (Do _NOT_ yell at
David, vger's maintainer. Do not threaten him with lawsuits either.
That doesn't do anyone any good. He doesn't get paid for it, remember.)
After two weeks, I'll ask David to remove the vger list, so you _WILL_
be unsubscribed anyway. I'd ask him to do it once, but I want to give
people time to adapt.
I'd also like to thank the several offers of running a gateway that I
got within hours of posting the request. Thanks! If it weren't for
folks like you, I'd completely lose faith in volunteer work.
As an aside, my PPP is now working very well (the only real problem was
my failure to understand version numbers and therefore failing to get
the _really_ newest version...), mail flows like a dream. I will
be setting up a news server on my machine in the near future. After that,
I will be able to to automate my moderation a lot more, but even now,
it's already much easier than it used to be. This should result in much
faster turnaround, since I won't have to depend on getting a modem
connection to the university to be able to moderate. (We have about
a hundred modem lines for about ten to twenty thousand potential users.
This is why I'm getting my PPP from a commercial ISP.)
