***************************
There is a feature (not currently available to us) by which the system will
advise participants by email when there is new material. But the system
will not send material by email. It is all web-based. I assume, however
that all folks on the listserve have access to the web???

hello all,

i'll cast my vote with harrison and metanet.  i can say that
that is where i first entered these sorts of distance
learning conversations.  in a word, phenomenal.  i had just
this week been wondering if we shouldn't be considering some
web-based conversations that displayed and archived our
conversations as pages of posted messages, rather than one
email at a time.  it's a lot easier to read and refer to
when it's captured 25 messages at a time.  easier to scroll
through the topics, too.  and immediately available as
archives to all new members.  i remember reading back
through something like four years of pioneering
conversations as i began to explore oopen space.  i was
going to suggest we try some things on the bulletin board at
the openspaceworld.org website, but metanet blows that crude
system away.  m
