Do you really think that many first year members will be news.posters? Not
to mention the apathy that spreads to people once they enter their 2nd year?
And what does en masse mean? 50 or 100 folk suckered at enrolment or the
entertainment event (eg sausage sizzle, PC bashing) into signing their possibly hard-earnt dollars for TFM, and a yearly membership into progsoc, (which by the way has not delivered anything for its financial members besides TFM)? Do you
really think these are the people that will flood the the mailing list?

I dont think a local newsgroup is very useful for people without access to
the newsserver at socs.

So Ryan thinks the drivel,(oops), discussion that constitutes progsoc mail is
worth keeping for all eternity. What a strange interpretation of archiving.
