Thanks for the explaination. It sounds to me like a USENET is something to
which a group resorts if they do not have a Mark to manage a majordomo. As
for me, who uses a dial up ISP and flashsessions, I vote for the majordomo.
And I will continue to send contributions to Fat Chance Garage whenever
the request is made. When you consider how much money I spend on this
hobby an extra $50 a year (or so) is nuthin'.

A "majordomo" list is just a mail forwarding system. Messages that are sent
to
the list address are automatically forwarded to all list subscribers,
either
realtime or in a daily "digest" form.
(What follows is my understanding of how Usenet works, please correct me if
I have mis-stated anything).
