 DM> Following your instructions I subscribed to the Juno mailing list for

Yes that list IS a little contentious at times, and a handful of people
seem to, at times, tend to dominate it, (one of them is a regular on
this list and you may recognize who I am referring to) but I get much
good info and late-breaking news on that list.  I don't have web access
so can't compare it to newgroups.  Also our net is not interested in
adding the FidoNet Juno echo, so I have to rely on the Juno_Acc list.

I get frustrated with the laziness of many who are on the Internet
mailing lists, in not using their editors in a polite and sensible
manner.  It's not a limitation of their mailers, it is just being unfamiliar
with the netiquette we learned in "other nets".   Selective quoting
seems to be an alien concept on the part of most Inetizens.  
 DM> But that's just my opinion. Thanks anyway, for introducing me to mail
 DM> lists.
Sorry you didn't find it to your liking, Dave.  I couldn't live without
my many genealogy surname mailing lists.
Best regards, and have a great '98!
