|| Paul,
||
|| I haven't look at newsgroup c.o.d.s. for a long time, basically
|| because I got out of the habit of looking at newsgroups, the
|| messaging formatting and software needed seems a little "unnatural"
|| (convoluted) compared to email. But, I'll admit to laziness. I have
|| enough on my hands just trying to read all the Oracle-NT
|| documentation. :)
||
|| Anyway, why wait for IOUG to start a ORACLE-NT-L?
||
|| As far as technical issues goes, it could easily be done on yahoo
|| groups (formerly "egroups.com") or some similar "free" site (e.g.,
|| http://www.escribe.com/ ???), or fatcity (which I know you feel is a
|| bit unreliable/unperformant). I know that Jared felt uncomfortable
|| with the old "eGroups.com" TOS (terms of service), and after I read
|| them, I also felt that some of the vague/legalistic terminology
|| sounded like it might be "funny". For instance, pat of the
|| eGroups.com TOS sounds like it is saying that they have rights to
|| claim ownership of the content of all material posted, etc. I don't
|| know if Jared had other concerns than privacy ones.
||
|| As far as the "Culture" of any Oracle-NT-L, I can see the possible
|| advantage of having some "weighty" expert personalities
|| involved. The
|| "culture", and therefore utility, of an email list "community" is
|| almost always enhanced when the list is created with a good core
|| group of people that can provide a sense of leadership, purpose and
|| vision.
||
|| regards,
|| ep
