[pianotech] Old list

[David Skolnik]

Paul,
Along the line of what you are saying, the issues around this, the 
'old' list, specifically its continued viability, are, for the most 
part, separate from the theoretical advantages and disadvantages of 
the web-forum model. Likewise, those theoretical pros & cons are 
somewhat distinct from the success or failure of HL to successfully 
effect that model.   It's hard to make a comparison between something 
simple that works (though perhaps not for long) and something that's 
hot and fancy, but, in the opinion of many, does not.

To the extent that NOT expressing a preference for the old list might 
be taken as a negative or perhaps disinterest, I would have to join 
in its support.  In reality, if its technology truly is outdated, I'd 
like to know that it's there, at least until such time as a suitable 
replacement is in-place and thoroughly tested.  As per RonN's 
admonition,  I will exorcise "learning curve" from any further 
contribution of mine to this   discussion.
