Re: [ga-rules] Daily post limits

["William S. Lovell" <wsl@cerebalaw.com>]

William:

Concur with all of what you say.  Someone else here a bit
ago suggested reposting in digest form, which makes a lot
of sense to me.  That stuff helps educate people.  But just
wish there would be some checks to see whether something
has or has not already been reposted.

I subscribe to The Benton Communications Policy Mailing List:
<BENTON-COMPOLICY@CDINET.COM>

where things are done digest style -- not quite as compact as
labelled URL lists, but better than whole articles.  Rather than
having every Tom, Dick and Harry (or Tessa, Donna and Helen)
reposting stuff, maybe the lists should each have a "news
correspondent" that could do the bit for everyone.  (That would
be THAT person's "official" chore -- not counted!)
