No, its still messed up, I just added the daily summaries. As posted, I have reduced the number of individual posts, but now I added the summary (its like 2 steps back and 1 step forward). No one has complained (so far), but I work hard to be sensitive to my daily use of evdl members' bandwidth (the evdl is not for brucedp's own use by dominating with too many posts). But until our sysop resolves the changes to the nabble archive, I will use the method I used last night (post EVLN item I hope people will use the most, and hold back those that get read the least). It was suggested that I combine news items into one big newswire post, but that has not worked out in the past, as readers have shown they like the ability to pick-n-choose what they want. Posting the summary may not seem necessary to some, if I am already posting the individual items. But there are those that use my work to disseminate news items they feel a forum they participate on would want to know (i.e.: the short blurb about Smart EVs, re-posted on the smart forum, etc.). To back this belief, look at http://evdl.org/archive/ at the number of views. If people are only using my free work (since 1990) by reading an individual post in their intray, then there would be no need for them to access that EVLN post on the evdl's nabble archive. But people are sharing/disseminating EV-news. This is a very good thing, and I am glad it is being done. Not that it is an ego stoke for me, but the whole purpose/the reason I kill-myself to find, clean-up, and get this out, is for people to use to get the EV word out (think of it as lots of people contributing like open-source = a lot gets done). I am hoping this nabble issue gets resolved, and I do not have to find a new archive to stash my EVLN posts. Our sysop made a great effort to allow me to post to a separate EVLN sub-folder just so regular evdl posts are not cluttered up/over-whelmed with all my stuff. Well, since I am using bandwidth to make this post, I might as well also use it for other purposes (as was suggested - the following has ot topics). *Note: In a week, I will be flying out, arriving in Austin, TX, reconnoitering a couple of hours north for a few days (check out the area), and come to stay for my last few days south again in San Antonio. For those with lives that are quite busy, the largest hurricane to blast Houston in 12 years (it made quite a katrina-like mess http://mashable.com/2017/08/28/harvey-hurricane-katrina-comparison/ As I type, flood waters are receding, people are putting their lives back together, etc. I am hoping locals will come out to the 9/16 San Antonio NDEW EVent https://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=926 Then I will poke around SA until mid-week when I leave to return home out of Austin. I mention this as I am hoping there won't be an EVLN posting disruption, but this old body gets tired a whole lot quicker than it used to, so we will have to see how it goes. Since I am not posting the least read items, I will use this combined post opportunity to clump in said items to his post. First, it one that is mostly ot, but only has an honorable mention of EVs in it. But it points out that those wackadoodle Californians are going to what some outsiders mind seem like as an extreme: an ordinance to force drivers to turn off their ice when not in use. Outsiders have to understand, Palo Alto is the more affluent part of northern Silicon Valley (many of their elite live and work there = Very Expen$ive). Besides their high stress super money making deals (facebook, google, yahoo, and many others live here), there are some that would say that area also has its fair share of extreme save-the-earth types that want to return the bay's salt ponds back to nature http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=466&TargetID=1,36 (which will be a haven for more west-Nile-virus mosquitoes, skunks, mash rats, and other vermin/pests). They also want the mountains to return to be a haven for the wild life (mountain lions, coyote, etc.). while at the same time, parent's sightings of in Palo Alto neighborhoods of mountain lions, etc. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Mountain-lion-cub-sighting-reported-near-schools-12164076.php causes a concern/uproar of pets and kids being consumed (wacka poodle munched) http://www.sfgate.com/outdoors/article/Study-finds-mountain-lions-are-feasting-on-house-6829205.php So, while we have heard of some countries' planned ban of ice sales in the future, this turn off your ice, is another step to reduce pollution, that other regions may dislike. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/08/31/palo-alto-bans-idling-of-vehicle-engines/ Palo Alto bans idling of vehicle engines Construction vehicles, tech shuttle buses and even Mark Zuckerberg's private security detail must stop their idling.
