RE: someone shortcircuiting this list to razor-report? / Moving the list!

[Frederico Costa]

Hi all again ...

Just to say about egroups, actually I think they work very well. For
example the mailing list for the wincvs client is in the egroups, and
until today nothing about Spam came from that list.

There are more advantages, for example, you don't need to maintain any
scripts, or setup something. Also it is very nice in terms of checking
old messages.

Of course this are my thoughts.
