While I am not adamant on the subject, I would prefer it if there were a
separate mailing list for this forum. Perhaps, Peter, you could start one up;
if you aren't familiar with how, I'm sure Gunnar could tell you. Probably
you'll want to post the finished product back on this list, and that's fine,
but I for one am not all that enthused about reams of discussion on something
I have little interest in.

If you're concerned about lack of visibility for a second list, I suggest that,
once a week, you post a trailer in this list (basically an advertisement for
the Net Epic list.) I don't think that one post a week would bother anyone.
People who are interested in Net Epic could also put instructions for joining
the Net Epic list on their pages.

Thanx,
Cameron Bentsen, Ottawa.
