I believe the Messrs. Weldon and Zollars have used this
system. And, I believe that Ed has some opinions on whether
it would work well for THIS newsgroup. But I'll let him
weigh in on that if he chooses. <g

I suggest that the noarchive header *not* be implemented by
default. To turn off archiving with the "X-NoArchive: yes"
header would be a great loss to the world, and lead to
re-asking of the same questions by the people who tried to
check the archives but were thereby unable to find results.
Admittedly the number of people who research before asking
is small, but let's enable those who do. I have found
Googling into M.T.M history to be very useful.

If the introduction of that header were only passed through
when placed by the original poster, I would have no
objection.

Actually, I have recently switched newsreaders and therefore
no longer have a way to conveniently set the archive bit.
So, I guess that issue no longer matters to me. <g
Might this be a good time to suggest the use of the STUMP
system? The main advantage, I suppose, is that you could
easily hand off the moderator duties to others from time to
time, and this might result in the group being posted more
frequently. Sure, it would change the character of the group
a bit, and there is a cost issue to address. But I'll bet
those problems could be handled. Anyway, it's just a
thought... <g

Sorry Dick, can't help you with numbers 2 and 3. However re
# 1, let me recommend Talisker, 2 drams every four hours.
This is one NOT to be mixed with Drambuie, unless you might
like a really smokey sweet taste. I don't. Like to
separate my pleasures and my cures.

Just stay alive, healthy and doing what you do so well. I'm
in a couple of diabetic newsgroups and the spam, trolls,
idiots, nuisances, etc, etc, make this group look like
heaven.

First problem is personal. It will be 16 weeks come Monday
since I had that damn bone spur removed from my left heel.
The incision has still not healed. I am still experiencing
unexplained sporadic sharp pains for which I am taking some
heavy duty pain killer. (If Rush Limbaugh is going cold
turkey, maybe he'll gift me his stash. <G> ) The effect is
that I am not getting on-line as often as I need to be.

Second problem is electicity provider reliablity. The hurricane
put me off-line for four days. This past week my power has
fliped out at least 7 times. The fifth time it took out the
power supply on my PC. I have hooked up a very old laptop
to get on-line. Unfortunately none of my newsgroup software
is on this sucker. So I am going to be posting manually which
means one-at-a-time. There are 90+ submissions waiting to be
posted.

Third problem. I am going to completely rewrite my newsgroup
software. Mike Wing had requested that I include an archive
header. Any other requests?

Dick
