Re: Are we gatewayed to Usenet

Clark Reynard says:

Never. I don't _ever_ want to see this made into a 'semi-private' mailing list. Extropians, for example, does this, and it's ended up being an incestuous, closed group, with extremely low signal-to-noise ratio; as the same groups of people chatter and blather about the same subjects to no end.

The participants would say that they have a very high signal to noise ratio. The fact that you didn't like the signals and would prefer different ones means you were not suited to the interests discussed on that list, not that the experiment has not been a success. Perry
