[Coco] Thanks for the Princeton Bit.Listserv.CoCo Mail List. DRAFT

[Aaron Banerjee]

I understand why someone wouldn't want to have the Princeton list pump
spam into their mailbox.  However, there are many references to the
Princeton list out there as being "the coco list".  Suppose someone digs
out a Coco out of their closet and wants to find other coconuts, it would
be nice that they could basically pick up any old reference and find us.  
   For those who do have great spam filters (mine doesn't work very well);
maybe if anyone would volunteer to sort of monitor the Princeton list --
should a real Coco owner actually try to use it ... and redirect them
here.  The rest of the Princeton messages could silently goto /dev/null.
   I like the idea of just letting the Princeton list be.  Just my 2 cents
worth.
