The newgroup idea is a good one. Especially if it is truely
moderated and is not just an 'autolistserver' like this list is.

On the IGC gen.socialism conference. Having followed it for some
time, actually since it started, you are write that it is hardly
used. BTW the IGC/Peacenet/LaborNet subscriber base a little over
12,000. It does represent the largest "leftist" internet/BBS in
the world, to my knowledge.

Although the 'gen.socialism' conference is small, many others are
very active such as the labr.party conference which also has a
mirrored list- server. Most if not all left and socialist 'lists',
like this one, are up on IGC as newsroups avoiding the necessity
of 'subscribing' to them.
