Обсуждение: USENET vs Mailing Lists Poll ...

The WWW folks just put up a survey asking:

"If there was an official newsgroup for postgresql, would you switch to
using Usenet from using the mailing lists?"

The Poll can be found at http://www.postgresql.org ... we're curious as to
what sort of interest there is by the 'General Users' ...

As a side note, for those that do vote 'yes', please note that there is an
official pgsql.* hierarchy gated from the mailing lists, that is available
at news.postgresql.org, if you do wish to use a news reader vs a mail
reader ...

As long as the web page maintainers are going to the trouble of taking a
survey, might I (at the risk of being tarred and feathered :-p) suggest
a more thorough survey?

Suggested questions:

(1) If there were a USENET newsfeed, under comp.databases.postgresql.*,
of one or more of the current postgresql mailing lists, I would

    (a) use USENET primarily,
    (b) use both USENET and the mailing lists,
    (c) use the mailing lists primarily,
    (d) unsubsribe from the mailing lists and use neither, or
    (e) not sure at this time.

(2) If there were a separate USENET comp.databases.postgresql newsgroup
created, I would

    (a) use the separate USENET newsgroup primarily,
    (b) use both the separate USENET newsgroup and the mailing lists,
    (c) use the mailing lists primarily,
    (d) unsubsribe from the mailing lists and use neither, or
    (e) not sure at this time.

(3) Concerning USENET, I would prefer

    (a) that the mailing lists be gated to USENET,
    (b) that the mailing lists and USENET be kept seperate,
    (c) that USENET go take a leap <;-/, or
    (d) not sure at this time.

(4) If the mailing lists are gated to USENET, I would prefer

    (a) that the current SPAM moderation policy apply to both,
    (b) that no moderation occur on either USENET or the lists,
    (c) that kooks who post to USENET be tarred and feathered 8-*, or
    (d) not sure at this time.

Please not that this is not an attempt at a survey, see 3c and 4c. It is
only a suggestion.
