Hi everybody, "roottalking" activity on this mailing list reached a level where we could think about chanding the form of our communication: it is not always convenient to receive by mail *all* the questions and *all* the answers. While a year ago having everybody communicating via mailing list allowed to provide extremely fast response which was very important for keeping project moving on, these days I'm already having kind of trouble with cleaning up my mailbox - there are too many mail messages coming to roottalk mailing list. Personally I'd prefer to read most of them in "off-line" mode. Looking how people around solve similar problems I found that establishing a newsgroup with all the correspondence directed primarily to there could (at least partially) help in keeping private mailboxes from getting overloaded. Of course this could somewhat slow down the response (not always you are automatically notified about a newsposting) but I don't see a serious problem with it: one could always send CC to rootdev@hpsalo.cern.ch ... Regards, Pasha
