Good Question, and one I pondered for awhile before using it. It was after
visiting the main www sites that provide and maintain the various posted
messages that I see the term reflector used. Thus I used what the source
folks were calling that activity. I run a full time BBS and I do see that
the termanology does vary.....especially across technical fields. I could
have used the term mailing lists and think the same points I was making
would come out the same......so it makes no difference to
me......grin.......
I feel I am off topic for this one, so I will post further responses as
needed as private messages.
Thanks for asking, maybe one of the Web Masters would like to elaborate?
