I wonder how difficult it would be for STC to forward the most called for files
to this mail list? Perhaps someone who is on the BBS in the main office could
simply forward the job list, and other popular files, on say a weekly basis to
this list.
If that were possible, then members could send replies, etc. directly into the
BBS by mail. Even for those calling long distance into the BBS, cost would be
minimal, since replies can be developed off-line and then sent in one download.
This would not improve a two-way communication problem, but would facilitate
the flow of information to the professional community.
