Re: [xmca] blog alternative to email list

There ARE people who do NOT use DOS or anything MS. So we Mac users
need to be served as well, though I don't think that this should be a
problem. There are about 7% Mac people over all, and it may be
higher in the community that subscribes to this list. (Or less, just
don't know) WMR

blogs can be subscribed to via email, or via "feed readers" -- which
can be put on your browser homepage.

There might be a necessary cost if anybody is using Microsoft DOS,
without html, as their interface. Is that anybody, now?

The maxim that I personally go by is that she who does the work gets
to decide -- so I'm happy with whatever UCSD folks want to do. I'd be
surprised, though, if UCSD does not have capabilities that would
serve all of us better than the old listserv mechanism.
