Re: Mailing List or Newsgroup?



Ohayou mina-san,

First of all,  for those in the San  Diego,  Los Angeles and  San Bernadino
area, KSCI (channel 18) will be  broadcasting the San Jose Tournament (it's
not really a basho, now is it?) on Saturday July 24. Airing starts at  11pm
PDT and will last for one hour.

Now,  in  reply  to Martin's post, I  do fit  the  description to set  up a
"proper" mailing list,  _but_ will loose all  computer access in the second
half of September for an unknown period of time. If you must know,  I'll be
going to attend a language institute in Nagano for a year. I don't have the
foggiest about computer  facilities over  there,  let alone  the privileges
I'll be granted.

In private  E-mail I have asked Pete if  he could persuade his sysadmin  to
create  a new account for him (sumo@..., osumo3@...)  solely for forwarding
to all people  on  the mailing list.  From his  post to this list it looked
like he could get one, but I haven't heard anything so far from Down Under.
If he can't get one, I guess Martin is the next best option.  If necessary,
I'll be more  than happy  to help out with setting the  thing up,  it's not
that hard anyway.

Personally, I'd rather stick with the mailing list, but if we decide or are
"forced" to create  a new  newsgroup  then we may as  well try  to make  it
official:  rec.sport.sumo.  We can always  create alt.sport.sumo if we have
to, ne?  I  believe  the official newsgroups  are carried by all news-nodes
whereas  your local  news-node sysadmin is free to decide whether or not to
carry any of the alt. groups.
