REQUEST FOR PERMISSON TO TRANSFER MESSAGES TO ARCHIMAC BBS

I am the Sysop of ArchiMac BBS, the first and the only Bulletin Board
System on earth to serve the Archives and Records Management profession.

As part of this service, my board carries all mailing lists of relevance to
the profession and transfers messages written to these lists to its echo
conference areas. The echo areas can also be read from the web interface of
the BBS by pointing your browser to
http://www.archimac.marun.edu.tr/Archimac and then following the links
Login - Conferences. When prompted for account and password, you can enter
Guest for both to see how it works.

The software I use for this purpose works in one way only. That is, the
mailing list messages are transferred to the board but replies sent to the
board are not transferred to the list. So, literally, it works as a
read-only thing on my part. The users can send messages to your list only
via their own e-mail and only if your list is an open discussion list.

The purpose behind all this, is to create a means for the students (about
100) and staff (about 15) at Marmara University's Archives Department to
follow all mailing lists relating to the profession but in doing this to
keep the bandwith usage at the minimum. That is, instead of getting each
and every list for some 115 times, to get them just once and let everyone
share it. This is true for anyone else interested in the subject, too,
since the board and its web interface is open to public as guests and to
archives and records management professionals as registered users.

I have got intentions to transfer your list to the board and the web
interface, too. If you have got any objections to this, please let me know,
and I will take no action in that direction. If not, I would appreciate if
you drop me a line of consent.
