Lots of good advice in the replies. I'd like to say: maybe you could let us
know what the end result is.

A summary of this thread could also be an interesting article for the
telecom-digest website.

Speaking of the web site, I just noticed that my RSS to Yahoo for the digest has not been working for six months.


***** Moderator's Note *****

I abandoned the Yahoo groups some time ago: updating them took too
much time, and it duplicated the nntp and email feeds avavailable from
Usenet and the Majordomo robot, respectively.

Pat used to assemble the daily digest by hand, and send them to email
subscribers after he did so. That process, which probably dated from
the start of the digest, didn't use any of the tools availalbe today,
and the first thing I did after taking on the temporary moderator job
was to set about lessening the work load so that I could concentrate
on essentials.

I've always thought that the best way to moderate a list like the
Digest is to use automation as much as possible, and to that end, I've
pared the distribution down to the minimum that gives readers the same
choices that they had before: reading the digest via Usenet, or
getting emails. In addition, the Majordomo robot that handles the
email distribution has been modified to give readers the option of
getting either individual posts, or the traditional digest, whereas
before the only choice for email subscribers was to get the digest
version.

If RSS offers advantages that email subsciptions do not, I'm willing
to be convinced that I should reenable the Yahoo feeds. However, it
will only happen if I can gateway posts to Yahoo without manual
effort, for the reasons stated.

I set up an RSS link from the one Pat gave me, it has nothing to do with their groups, it is on my page there, I get news the same way. One day it just stopped working, it seemed right after Pat got sick, but not sure. I have not tried to set it up on another site, I read it most of the time from my newsreader. I was looking for a posting I made some years ago and did a Google search and found one I posted to the digest in 1993, talk about strange seeing the old digest.

I don't know enough about RSS to help with this: others please chime in.

Please put [Telecom] at the end of your subject line, or I may never
