[antlr-interest] Again help with pl/sql grammar

Thu Apr 22 04:40:34 PDT 2004

Hello,

I am not sure that it is some email on this list that overloading your mailbox.
Actually I have a true problem with spam and virus mail (more than two hundred
by day) on my university mailbox.

In over hand, if you take in a first time the mail and in a second time the ftp
session for take a little grammar file, I am not sure that you win. Effectively
some people that subscribe to this list just for listen doesn't take the time
to take the grammar on the ftp site. But people that subscribe to a technical
list such ANTLR are so curious and accept some overloading mailbaox.

The first "John D. Mitchell" mail are so "direct" for me and indicate that is a
rule. If you see antlr archive you can find many message with file attached and
it's not a bad thing.

If we want use the antlr archive in some few month, i can take a mail that
indicate a pb with all information (file, ..) but if we separate a mail + a ftp
dowload, in some few month the ftp dowload disapear (broken link, correct
grammar, ...).

okay but are you sure that is a good reason to define a "strict rule" ?

This list is submit to subscribing and the people know that a technical list can
have a good stuff.  A list with no traffic on a technical subject is not
interesting (generally). We don't speak to "spam" .... perhaps you want also
limited the number of mail by day to limit the traffic ??

> It's that last point you should really consider seriously ...

It's not a problem because "people subscribe" to this list and can unsubscribe
and get archive in yahoo site for example ....

The main problem is how limit the spam on this list and how protect our email
address .....
