  ... or maybe DEC should put TSC on-line? :-)

  It appears to me that the people who are having the greatest problem with the
traffic might prefer an info-vax-digest which ran in parallel with info-vax.
PLEASE, NO FLAMES ABOUT DIGESTS - I'm a digest-hater too. However, a true
digest, in the sense of containing only only selected items (only those with a
high signal-to-noise ratio) might be appropriate for those who are read-only
participants, "too busy" to contribute. As I see it, the problems is: who would
be the moderator? 

  A point aside: DEC has a dial-in BBS-type thing that I haven't checked out
yet, DECUS is experimenting with something similar, and then there's ARIS...
And they say anarchy is dead :^).
