How would this be significantly different from a posting to the PLUG mailing
list? An expert who sees the title "Free BSD on an AMIGA" is just as
likely to volunteer with or without being registered. Additionally, please
lose and gain skills constantly, but probably do not wish to maintain a
PLUG profile (at least, I don't particularly care to).
About the install-festees (can we call them that?), I am also in favor of
the earlier suggestion that they sign onto the mailing list through a
"subscriber box" while they are present. This way the followup and
announcements would be along the lines of 30-50 messages a day! Certainly
that is enough. ;-)
It is a good idea, I just don't see it as being necessary given the nature
of the PLUG mailing list.
