I'm "pro" insofar as my listserv subscription usage leads to a "exploding mailbox" which ain't good for the network i'm on. "cons" might be that members might not be as circumspect as they are knowing that everyone will get a post in their mailbox (rather than in a "newsgroup" where items are all optional) which might lead to "flame wars" and such. but my pro outweighs my con -- i've tried using the gopher to browse archived files, but it isn't always functioning. gary gach <[log in to unmask]>
