Even though the current group of 16k users is small and well known
communication amoung us has been slight. This group of users may be
expanding if ECF has any success with it's ICM box. I feel that a
mailing list would be too restrictive and require too much support
(on my part:-) to keep it rolling.

I guess the question is; how important is it for users to recieve this
information at their 16k machines.

Please let me know which you favor (news group or mailing list). If the
general opinion favors a mailing list I'll set one up.
