In the letter from John Donnelly regarding the Boston Meeting, he mentioned the funding of a newsletter for Usenix. I just want to put in my bid for an "electronic newsletter" and not a physical (paper) one. It would seem to be a waste of paper and stamps to not take advantage of the net for distribution. (It would also save the money necessary to print and distribute the letter via U.S. Mail).

John Van Zandt UCSD John Van Zandt (sdcsvax!jvz) has an interesting idea concerning electronic mailing of the newsletter. It should be pointed out that not everybody who wants to recieve (or who is entitled to recieve) the newsletter is on the network. So on somesort of form, one might be able to specify a preference. Also, unless one person at each network node is specified as the contact point (as in the current system) and only he recieves the newsletter (and presumably sends it off to others in his facility), this could be a very hard thing to manage.
