Here we don't get a Khoros digest - so maybe that's a local news/email
administrator's decision? But I like the Khoros method where there is a
CHOICE - there is a newsgroup with the advantages of wider circulation
of the issues, and there is a mailing list also, for those addicted to
spoonfeeding. I don't see why this dual system shouldn't work with
netCDF too. Someone want to set up the newsgroup vote? Should we
be part of comp.databases hierarchy ( comp.databases.netCDF or
comp.databases.selfdescfiles ?) , part of sci hierarchy
( sci.data.fileformats ?) or start a new branch of comp
(comp.files.selfdesc) ?
