Tim, It was in fact a list, just a ONE WAY email list. A LIST of people that receive the same email IS a mailing list, whether the content was called a "newsletter" or not, and whether you can respond "on list" or not. The "list" is the list of email subscribers. I believe it was hosted by the same host as our LUG, and it used majordomo. And to quote from the Majordomo FAQ "Majordomo is a program which automates the management of Internet mailing lists." AND to quote Erwin in his introduction to APEMC: "> Many of you expresed the wish that this list should not evolve into a > discussion group. So would I." It was a mailing list. I don't understand how or why you are even arguing about this, or what the intent of your argument, right or wrong, is.
