In response to Signalling from Mars # 15
"YOUR SIGNALLER RESIGNS: now that I have a full-time job outside of the
University, and no job inside it, it is difficult to get along here to my
old office with the regularity required to run a good journal. .........
I will of course continue as TARS-Net Secretary, the 1st port of call for anyone finding us on the Web. "
"MAILING LISTS: Who knows about this feature of Email, and
can set one up for TARS-Net? I can't get anything useful on this subject
out of the local Computer Services people here. We should use a List
Server of some kind for the S2M distribution, and also we could have an
openlist for newsgroup-style informal discussion [an idea for a
alt.books.ransome newsgroup was insufficiently supported to make it worthwhile]."
I emailed Peter on Wed April 03, 1996 :-
"Try
http://es-parto.lancs.ac.uk/~esarie/tarboard/tarboard.html
for an other alternative. It's WWW forum/bulletin board type thingy
I've just put up - let any other cyber tars know if you wish.
The server is stable and my account has the space, so it should
be possible to keep it up for quite a period for testing at least,
assuming that it is treated politely."
to which on Thur April 04, 1996 he replied :-
"Three million cheers
or as we say in New Zealand
You bloody beauty!"
followed by him posting April 04, 1996 at 23:41:06:
"This is just what I have always wanted! How public should we make it?
To keep traffic down we could just inform all Tars who are netted [about
20?] ..........Tars only or link to here from the AR Page? "
