RE: eRPG mailing list (was; Future fo AS/400?? ) -- RPG400-L

I think it's a great idea. The only way to know for certain is to start it
and see how much activity occurs. At the very least people will no longer
have an excuse for not e-ifying their careers when a list server exists to
help them get started...

I like it.

I subscribe to more than one midrange list, as many if
not most people do, so I don't think you have to worry
about cutting out part of the audience.  One list that
gets no traffic is MIDRANGE-PERL.  Maybe that should
be renamed to MIDRANGE-ERPG and allow perl discussions
to take place there.  Not that there are any. :)
