Re: [GZG] [LST] Mail list vs. Forums

_______________________________________________
Gzg-l mailing list
Gzg-l@lists.csua.berkeley.edu
http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI get google groups
as digests.  I get google groups as individual e-mails.
I have
google groups which I only read in the forum.  I have never heard of a
google
group being shut down for volume, although I am not omniscient.

To be clear I have some google groups set-up so that there is no
perceivable
difference between that and a list.

Gmail is good at filtering SPAM, if there isn't a tie-back to the groups
I
would
be surprised.
