-
- There are advantages and disadvantages to a mailing list.
-
- The biggest advantage is that there is very little preparation necessary
- for startup. Just start the list and start the list and start eMailing.
-
- Some disadvantages to a mailing list is that if there are hundreds of
- messages a day, you get hundreds of eMail in your mailbox. This can
- be inconvenient at times. Someone has to maintain the list, especially
- if its moderated.
-
- Plus, don't forget that some international users have to pay for each
- eMail, whether they read it or not!
-
- Some things to consider.
