Dear Newsgroup:

Recently you have noticed that I have created new newsgroups as part
of a company to solve difficult issues related to the newsgroups:

http://mathforum.org/kb/thread.jspa?...63061&tstart=0

There are many advantages to the individuals as well as the public to
what I call a directive newsgroup. These are as follows:

1- We will have true identity of the posters clarified; this will help
more responsibility on the side of posters (Particularly when a fee
system is initiated).

2- Members must sign a contract of regulations regarding codes of
conduct in behavioral languages and other issues in their postings.

3- Members are obliged to restrict themselves to the subject matter of
their membership, thus in a newsgroup Sci.math, mainly mathematical
issues will be discussed.

4-Currently the site is not open to the public, i.e. only
members can see and post articles. This is noted in their contract.

I believe many university professors may not like to go public,
this system will give them a chance to get involved in a closed
environment (this is very essential for the quality of educational
system)

5-Some may like their articles to be seen in the public (but certainly
members can only post articles), then this will be noted in their
contract and we need to open up another site for this purpose (like
smoking or non smoking sections! Sci.math (public) or Sci.math (non
public)).

6-This is an ideal system for teachers to be involved. We will then
have separate sites for elementary, middle school math, as well as
college math, subject to member’s growth (also other subjects).

7- In this case teachers can concentrate on problem solving of their
textbooks and all the other issues of this particular newsgroup will
focus on issues like elementary school math.

8-The company is global, and many from different countries can join
and later on create their own franchises of the company in many
languages when the company created its name and logo trademark in the
future.

9-At this time the ideas are in their infancy and the sites of Basti
Newsgroups are experimental on Google site.

10- Company will hire professionals to direct each section of its
sites for the benefit of the member’s interests in variety of
dimensions.

11-If you would like many other branches of science and education,
please let me know.

12-Teachers may have a separate one contract for their school,
enrolling their students in a separate site.


These are many advantages of directive newsgroups that current system
is lacking.

You are welcome to join in the newsgroups.
