RE: ADMIN: List Issues

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks. To me the issue is format, not economic. I chose a mail list 
instead of a bulletin board style discussion forum because of habit and 
convenience. That is, with a mail list the 1962-1965 Mopar discussion 
automatically comes to your email?s IN box and you can sort the mail by 
subject to follow a discussion thread. Using a bulletin board format you 
need to remember to log on to the Web site address to view the mail and 
then search trough all the various topics to hunt and peck for the 
latest discussion. Many obviously do this procedure routinely. I 
personally do not find that process as user friendly.

Topica was okay when I first started using it but they have gone 
downhill and do not even have a working search function to look through 
the archives. The downside of leaving Topica is the loss of all the 
archived mails, but as these are functionally invisible anyway, that is 
not much of an issue. Also, a member here was archiving all the messages 
on his Web site for reference but I have lost that address. If anyone 
knows it please let me know.

I am looking into signing up using another mail list as of now. Any 
thoughts are welcome. :) 

Thanks,
Gary H.

----
Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
