#1706 mail traffic

Netherwood P J · 7 November 1990

Hi

I hate to sound like an old stick in the mud, but I have a suggestion to make
regarding the current influx of vehicle designs. I prefer reading the
discussions, but recently I have been having to wade through pages of vehicle
data in the digest to get to the discussions. I'm not saying that the designs
should not be sent in (I will use them myself one day) but I would like to
suggest a new format: send in to the list a short description of the vehicles,
history etc (that's the interesting part of the vehicle) and then send the bulk
of the info, the detailed description, and all data, to be put in the FTP site
or the mail archives. Anybody agree with me? If not I'll shutup!

Cheers

Paul.

I agree.  Please, don't take this the wrong way, I do think the designs are
worthwhile, but they do get kind of long to wade through looking for the other
articles.  I *DO* want them available but say just a posting to the list giving
the names and classes of ships and then the full data on the vehicle designs
ftp site.
