"What's the current volume and number of subscribers of chat@gnat.com?
If it's high enough, and people want it, I'd suggest making a
'comp.lang.ada.gnat' newsgroup, and possibly renaming c.l.a to
comp.lang.ada.misc."
Well we certainly intend to retain chat@gnat.com in any case, because
lots of people DO find a mailing list more convenient, and it is certainly
not prone to the kind of junk mail that is now appearing on all newsgroups.
The advantage of the mailing list is that, since the signal to noise ratio
is high, more of the GNAT folks feel like participating (almost all now
find CLA not worth reading -- I am an exception :-)
So it is fine certainly to start a GNAT newsgroup, but I doubt that anyone
from ACT would read it.
