Are you in favor of having the music confernce anonymously readable by the
>backtalk?  If this question confuses you see coop item # 27.

I wouldn't see any problem with it

#2 of 17 by raven on Tue Jan 7 18:47:22 1997:

I support anonymous reading for the music conf as well because there are
no personal issues discussed here.

welll, just the idea that some people might get carried away with the idea
of anonimity, and try to trash the cf.... heck people do that on m-net and
it isn't anonymous... i don't see the problem with it just having it how it
is...

re # 3 They will only be able to read using anonymous access they won't
be able to post so no trashing can occur.

ah, well, in that case, i think it's a pretty cool idea... might lure more
people to grex (eek! more fights to get a telnet port :>)

Backtalk users don't tie up telnet ports.

I support this anon access. (Even though the "anon" is something
of a misnomer.)

re 6:
yes i understand that.. it just seems like the point of backtalk (at least
for those who aren't on grex already) is to lure potential grexers in.. 
that *does* tie up telnet ports.

re # 8 But not if they use Backtalk even as registered users.

#10 of 17 by scott on Sat Jan 11 01:49:24 1997:

I'm in favor of unregistered ( to use the current Coop term) access.

I'm against unregistered reading ("anonymous") of grex items via any means.

#12 of 17 by rcurl on Sat Jan 18 18:44:14 1997:

There are already lots of anonymous readers - what do you mean?

#13 of 17 by eskarina on Sun Jan 19 16:56:47 1997:

How does it make an anonymous reader intrinsically better if they happen to
have a login on grex?  I don't understand the grounds for objection.

#14 of 17 by scott on Sun Jan 19 19:44:07 1997:

It's what has been referred to as being "brushed with newuser sauce".  Newuser
does provide some text that talks about Grex and appropriate behavior.

#15 of 17 by rcurl on Sun Jan 19 19:55:19 1997:

Though no "behavior" is involved, since this would be only unregistered
reading.

You may just want to consider this the "voting" item, and use coop for
discussion of people's views on the subject...
