Re: Number of Postings on IBM-Main


I use gmail, it is convenient and will filter and sort. I also set up
google alerts on error message IDs and get some interesting hits. I
wish the racf-l list was in google groups, makes searching really easy.

You might try what I do: Post via the LISTSERV, but
set the account to NOMAIL. Then read via the Newsgroup
bit.listserv.ibm-main . My newsreader (Agent) threads the
posts (mostly), and it gives me at least as good control as
Charles reports: I mark some threads for auto-retrieval, I
don't even download the posts in some threads, and the rest
I make individual decisions about.

One nice thing about this approach is that in Agent, I can set up a
persona which I use for IBM-MAIN which posts both to the newsgroup and
to the listserve.

With other newgroups (comp.lang.cobol), I use a different persona that
only replies to the newsgroup.
