Booth 6/10 8:58am >>> There are news groups or is a newsgroup. My personal feeling is news takes too long to propagate. I get much better response to the mailing lists--I'm more apt to read a mailing list than a news group. If I don't think the subject applies I delete the messages w/o reading it. >>> Yea, I am aware of the newsgroup, but I was hoping for multiple newsgroups that mirror the maillists. I do the same thing, deleting messages by subject. Unfortunately, I still have to do them one at a time. I just can't say delete all the messages with a given subject. I guess this is not viewed as an email like thing, but more like a news thing. This still takes up alot of time. Darren
