RE: UKNM: ADMIN: Times are a changin'

[Elizabeth Van Couvering]

Now I could let Sam answer this of course, but:


a) why sponsorship? to provide it with money in a relatively non-offensive

fashion.  Because it can.

b) what for? to buy servers, bandwidth, and recompense Sam for some of the

time he spends filtering our nonsense

c) what else? the agreement to Excite is simply what you see -- the couple

of lines at the bottom of a message, and a link to Excite from the chinwag

home page.  It's not very sinister really, we just want you to try the

service because we think it's good and once you try it you'll like it, tell

your friends about it, and possibly want to advertise on it.


Everything else is just a figment of Steve B's imagination.

I'm sure this is all very splendid news, but...


(a) Why does a mailing list need a sponsor?


(b) What does the money go towards?


(c) Why should this mean the beginning of the end for UKNM? Is there

something missing from this Admin statement about how the list will be

promoted by Excite, or will attempt to expand itself somehow?


I'm a little confused on this one.
