Hi,

I accidentally rejected the message below by Allan 
<allan2016 at warpspeed.dyndns.dk> because I thought I was looking at the 
moderation queue of the fpc-pascal list. So here it is.

I really don't care, if his web interface goes away - never used it.
If he really would stop the gmane newsserver, I would just link
the mailinglist to my own newsserver, as I have done with lots of other
mailinglists, over the years :-)

I think the discussion about which model is the right one for FPC is
stupid, as no one will ever agree on anything.

OTOH, I have been running my own newsserver for 15 years - with a
gateway to a mailinglist server, and a very simple Webinterface on top
of the newsserver - and it has been running that way all the time on
OS/2 !  Please don't tell me - that there is not very simple solutions
for that ( and hopefully 15 years newer :-) ) for nix or win.

What I'm saying here is, that I would hope, that we could persuade the
FPC Team to set up such a solution - so that everybody would be happy.

It really do have a lot of advantages - especially if running
mailinglists and webforuns as separate things - because that would
split the community - the other solution joins forces.
