- Well, let's see. Here's the list that I proposed to the Newsletter
- editors (Las Vegas), Comm Comm (Florida), and DECUServe XCOM (California):
-
- Internet, DECUServe, CompuServe, America On-Line, GENIE, Fidonet, Usenet
- Montly LUG meetings, national Symposia, Regional Symposia, Seminars
- Library
- CD-ROM
- FAX
- mail
-
- Everyone there seemed to like that list.
-
- I don't know what upper management thinks, since I've never asked them.
- Frankly, if they think that they can restrict the distribution of an
- electronic newsletter to one or more avenues, then they're completely
- clueless. And all this time I only thought they were generally clueless
- :-) :-) :-)
-
- However, if we do an electronic newsletter, it'll be available ALL of those
- ways (or as many as we can find people to disseminate with). My question
- for you folks is: did I leave anything out?
