Re: [ga] RE: GA irrelevant

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Avri and all,

  To be blunt but also hopefully helpful, the NCUC/NCSG discussion
lists are a bit hard to use.  Still as you rightly say in so many
words, such does provide for a avenue for input, yet the GA members
are more familier with a 'old fashion' mailing list simply because
it is easier to use and alternitively archive...  

Just some thoughts...  >:)
