Perhaps the time is right to think about turning the mailing list into a bulletin board, then it is simple to split out topics, and mails will be properly threaded. At the same time it would be possible for members to upload pics etc to illustrate their point I am happy to stump up a little cash to help get this kicked off, or I have a spare web server sat doing nothing, and would be happy to host it. Putting up a bulletin board will cost just a couple of hundred dollars for a software license, a lot less using wobbly free BB software, then perhaps $50 per month for hosting. Spread among the 50 or so regular contibutors that amounts to nothing. I agree with Randy, people should not leave the list, I have certainly had my $50 dollars worth of encouragement, inspiration and helpfull advice, so here is my promise of $50 to get the ball rolling Pete Diffey St Albans, UK
