This is already a problem coming back through the udel.edu amiga-relay mailserver; it is the equivalent of a "site" that only subscribes to c.s.a, so a fair fraction of the postings appropriate for one of the specialty groups but landing in c.s.a are ones coming through that bottleneck. I've had no success yet at establishing communications with the operator of the relay, to discuss the changes needed when c.s.a goes away. We may need to establish some heirarchy and say that cross-posted stuff going through mail forwarders only goes into the highest priority group, and subscribers to only c.s.a.drivel miss the .announce crosspostings to .drivel. Agreeing on such a heirarchy could be tricky! (_I_ think graphics is more important than music, but then I'm tone deaf and don't own a MIDI sequencer, so what do I know?) Comments, suggestions? Kent, the man from xanth.
