I understand the concern that Chowdary garu has. Perhaps we can make
the following suggestion a norm for all posts generating new threads.
We are looking at atleast one new topic/issue every couple of days,
that should be a good middle ground to test whether we are on the
right track.
So, are we agreed that TELUSA posters will cc their initial posts on
new threads (subject to some judgement of course) onto SCIT? To this
end, could some kind soul enlighten TELUSAers on the Berkeley lists-
to-usenet gateway details? Thanks.
