This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello all, I am encouraged and appreciative regarding my reminiscence of the early = days of the list. I wasn't here at the VERY beginning but the list was = still quite young, sometime in 1997 I think. I think it's smaller size = back then was what made it work. There are just too many now for that = chummy feeling. My first impression that things were changing here was = when Jim Coleman Sr. left. Then one by one others disappeared and = finally Newton passed on. The "OT" arguments heated up. It's never = been the same since. Those who go back that far know what I mean. So... the idea of a moderated-unmoderated version of the list sounds = somewhat appealing although I still don't think it will be the same. = There are just too darn many people on the list and it's getting crowded = in here. I think what really needs to happen is the creation of a new = venue started from scratch. I have been contemplating maybe a Yahoo = group or some such thing. These are free, relatively easy to set up, = and they have offer some control in that optional restrictions can be = set on who and how many is allowed to join. Perhaps a waiting list in = which once it reaches a certain capacity new members will only be = admitted when someone else leaves. It also allows downloading pictures, = transferring of files, a private live chat room, and a separate free = e-mail account that won't clog your main home account with hundreds of = posts every day. Anyone have any interest in this kind of list? Feedback please. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
