Answer.....many of us like it the way it is....that's why we are here.....change it, and many of us are gone.   So take advantage of "this fantastic, knowledgable group".

Hello list, Bill, and Dennis,
 

Thanks, Dennis, for this helpful and constructive advice. I'll try to organize this in thread view in gmail.

 

Bill, thanks for pointing this out. It was and is not my intention to step on any seasoned list veteran's toes. I just joined the list this summer and merely asked why this fantastic, knowledgable group clings to a seriously outdated technical approach which makes it IMHO hard to read and fickle to contribute when there are so many easier solutions around. I am well aware that this is the place where I find the collective C&C wisdom. That is why I am here (and a regular on the website). I hope to learn from you all and certainly want to contribute my part.

 

I can see why you are a bit crabby because you are tired of a debate of which I didn't know, and certainly have no interest in rekindling - I simply tried to contribute a thought.

 

I still fail to understand though why the contents - the brain trust of a group - would mandate an oudated techical approach. A break up? Seriously? Google, Facebook, pretty much anyone who offers a user interface online changes and (mostly) improves it permanently, I think that a interest in our topic, the C&C, could wheather that. Especially people who can tame a list. But enough of that. Hush.

 

Why would it offend anyone to ask the obvious? Maybe the archive can answer that rather than an active member. I am curious to learn about the advantages of a list over a forum. Since we winterized 'Messing About' today, I can chew now through some miles of redundant, unclipped material in the lis archives. I have done that before, and THAT is a painful experience.

 

Don't get me wrong, this list is a treasure trove. In my humble opinion it deserves technical improvement when it serves all members - and I think it's worth considering if you are interested in younger members - on the water and online.

 

Sorry for asking, no harm intended.

 

Best,

Janko
