SubjectMailing list archives: an idea
Hi folks,

Well, the old mailing list archive on the web
(at http://www.maths.ex.ac.uk/~james/csound_list/ )
is still not happening. 

I would like to propose adding an archive of this list to
http://www.egroups.com/ 

This seems to be easy to do, it would update itself automatically, and
egroups seems to have pretty good searching & browsing capabilities.

If anyone has any objections, or thinks they have a better idea, please
say so. I think this would be a valuable resource (I for one used to use
James' old archive all the time). Unless the group decides otherwise, I
volunteer to make this happen.

Regards,

Please don't do this, I have just had a brush with egoups & anyone who
can't spot blatant data-mining is missing it.
Yuk!
