- Although you'll find many of the Boston Mensa members active on
- the newsgroups & Internet, I'm constantly reminded by many from
- my local chapter that something like 90% or more DO NOT have access
- to e-mail or Internet in any way shape or form.
-
- As one of the people who rallied Mensans to vote for the creation of
- rec.org.mensa, I tend to think that creating an additional sub hierarchy
- bellow rec.org.mensa will just be creating more needless newsgroups.
- (Also a number of local sysadmin people may just refuse the whole package
- due to maintainablity issues.)
