This feed echos to most ProLines on the ProLine network with the posting address of tic@pro-carolina. I've gotten some requests off the ProLine net in the UUCP/Usenet/Bitnets to add them to the mailing list. Since my site is several hops away from the nearest UNIX machine, however, it would not be efficient for me to send multiple copies of the feed to a UUCP or BITNET site. I can, however, post to a single re-distribution point (alias perhaps) on a UUCP or BITNET machine if someone would agree to handle the set-up of the alias and the maintenance of the distribution list for off-ProLine sites. Traffic on the feed isn't particularly heavy and includes tech support questions and answers, bug reports, feature requests, example scripts (user and author supplied), and product update announcements and the like. If you'd be interested in handling the off-ProLine distribution for this feed then leave me a note in email and we could try a few test runs to see how reliable our connections are followed by my adding your alias address to my distribution list here on Pro-Carolina. Posts to the feed would still be addressed to the Pro-Carolina TIC alias but redistribution to off-ProLine sites would be your responsibility.
