Nope. Any and all posts made in the land of Usenet will be sent directly to the newsgroup moderator (i.e., me) rather than actually placed in the newsgroup. When I receive such posts I will send them a polite note explaining that they must subscribe to SCREEN-L (the mailing list, not the Usenet newsgroup) in order to post to SCREEN-L. And I will also explain how they may join SCREEN-L. Your concern is definitely a valid one, Alison. I hadn't thought of it till someone else mentioned it to me as we were debating the merits of Usenet. To cope with this problem I've devised a rather complicated, but automated way for me to nab posts to the newsgroup. ---------- Work is the blackmail of survival. ---------- | Jeremy G.
