Hi Rooters,

I registered in this list to get the announces of
new releases, and as you guess my mailing box is
overcrowded with tons of messages from the Root
community. They are all probably very useful and
interesting, but personnally I just need the
releases announces.

My question is that one, which I have already
submitted to numerous other HEP groups, since the
whole HEP community seems to focus uniquely on
mailing lists :

Why not to create newgroups ?
Isn't it more appropriate for this kind of discussions ?

At least, we could have several mailing lists, so
to separate "releases announces" from "bug report"
and "I need help" messages.

Happy Week-end.
David.
