On May 20, 2:12pm, Mike asked:
} Anybody subbing to idm-reviews get anything different than the list? I'm
} considering getting on both lists, but don't know if it is just withering on
} the vine or what? I mean, was there really that much cross posting?
} And can I post to the review list, even though I am only on the main list?
} Is idm-reviews a moderated list, or is it a separate entity?
There are a couple posts a week to idm-reviews, but they aren't anything
that doesn't also appear on idm. Fluid, Chris, and I are the only ones who
can post to the list, and if people try and post to it it gets forwarded to
Fluid. I haven't seen any reviews on IDM that didn't make it to -reviews,
and vice-versa, so it's been working out pretty well. Point is, you don't
have to subscribe to both.

} I recently had the pleasure to browse the gopher at techno.stanford.edu
} using America On-Line. They've got a way to go on getting FTP access and
} their interface, but it sure beat e-mail. Way cool. I assume Brian is the
} link there? Keep up the good work. Hope to see more menus and documents
} available. I don't know if AOL maintains that or not, but it is looking good
} so far. Does AOL have some sort of automated process for building their
} gopher menus, or does someone at techno.stanford.edu do it?
The archives at techno.stanford are primarily maintained by Mike Brown
(ambient@techno.stanford.edu), and I do little things here and there.
There's nothing specially done for AOL, AOL just decided to get smart
and open up gopher access to the outside world (though they haven't
allowed their users to do the same and becme publishers themselves, which
is the bane of every large access provider except Netcom.)
Expect to see a major overhaul of the site this summer, possibly including
a move to a new home. Very possibly. :)
