That is it !

I think there should be a GREAT (where are the upper upper case keys on this damn
keyboard ?) concern to produce hard copy with newsgroups.

A bit of self policy and a few rules could be enough.

I can propose such rules but these would have to be accepted by everyone willing
to produce hard copy. So we have to discuss these.

I will give great concern to any proposition (sent by e-mail or in this newsgroup).
