I think the win32 email list has worked well. What is has allowed is people who want to track only win32 to get only those emails. It doesn't help people already on hackers because hacker input is needed. There are currently 102 Win32 subscribers, and most are not on the hackers list. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
