R&D, Schenectady, NY Lines: 10 Most of the rec.mag groups are limited to one posting per month, and are electronic magazines which have gotten too big for their mailing lists. It is a good use of bandwidth to make these postings, since the mail imposes a larger load at some point. I will let some of the backbone people comment on where that point is, but it's lower than the readership of these groups. bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
