 I think that a single point of contact email list is a good thing.  This
does give people a place to send email with issues, etc.  Like they ever do
that!  Bah, you login to pickup and hear all the complaints.  But do people
bother to email you?  Nooooooooo! :)

 I just had a list setup here... NetrekNT@lists.visi.com, which I had setup
for Netrek1999 type stuff, but I think it would work well as a general
purpose "Netrek programming under Windows" list.

 Which probably isn't a bad idea.  I think that there are a lot of issues
which are common amongst all the clients.  Such as setting up a new way to
connect to a metaserver, etc.

 But on the other hand there are platform specific issues, which others
probably frankly could care less about.   Not just Windows, but say Paradise
issues, etc.
