a hidden spam engine. I haven't found that to be the case, and, I've been on several eGroups lists for two years. They do send out adverts with each message, but this can be eliminated with the payment of small fee. Or even practically ignored by adding fifteen to twenty blank lines in your signature. The fee isn't much, and is certainly a lot less than Rebol-Crew must be paying for communications capacity. IIRC, Carl mentioned they were having gigabyte days, and initiated the discussion of moving the list to eGroups (or another server), so as to reduce that load on Rebol-HQ.

ColdFusion and JRun lists and it's been going very well. I've also got the domain name RebolBase.com (being designed now, not mapped). That's great! What would be the purpose of RebolBase.com?

Perhaps you'd like to help pay the fee to eGroups to remove adverts from the eGroups list? Or can you afford to pay for a "gigabyte day"? I'm honestly curious, not intending to be sarcastic or condescending. Andrew (Impetuous) Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.nbci.com/AndrewMartin/
