The GSB email system handles as many as 50,000 messages per day. Computing Services has supplemented this with a new bulletin board system available to GSB students, faculty, and staff. The advantage of using the bulletin board over straight email is that the discussion is open to more people and it's threaded. When you get lost, you can always move back through the thread to see how the discussion got to where it wound up.
Bulletin boards are also more efficient than email for maintaining discussions.
Messages in each newsgroup are retained for 90 days. One more thing about our bulletin board system. You will be asked for a password. Use the same ID and password you use for email or access to the GSB UNIX systems. Messages can be read only by members of the GSB community.
