Would anyone be interested in such a group? I would volunteer to act as co-ordinator and repository for names. If such a group was formed, I would simply propose that a list of those interested in being in the group be distributed to all members of the group and any member could mail to those on the list, at will. If you are interested, please send me mail. Things to think about are: 1) Would you prefer that the group be moderated and that the moderator keep the mailing list? 2) Do we want women only on the list? (and how can we tell if someone is bogus??) 3) Do we want only feminists on the list? (I think we could spot those who are bogus pretty quickly but the ringer could have the name list by then and bug us all with stupid mail). My own answer to this one is YES because net.women and net.women.only already have all types. However, I would go along with group consensus. The formation of two groups is not out of the question. I append ALL my optional mail addresses, for your convenience. --from the sssstickkky keyboard of J.A.M. ...!{allegra|bunker|clyde|csin|decvax|hcr| linus|sunybcs|syzygy|triton|utcsrgv|utzoo}!watmath!jamcmullan
