I sense a lot of "me, me, me" in your message. I
for one like the "old" method. I can down load
messages and read them off line at my leisure. I
use Eudora and don't seem to have to much problem
following the threads - would be a little easier
if some people would set up their mail client
where only the portion of the original message is
marked by quote marks "<" rather than everything
including their reply. Also better management of
updating the subject to reflect the actual topic
being discussed would be swell. I can live with
what we have, it works, and I like it as it is.

With all the talk lately about the size of file
attachments and the bandwidth they take I have
to ask why are you still using such an
antiquated system of an email list. The email
system wastes a huge amount of bandwidth by
sending everything to everyone subscribed to the
list when the fact is most of it is never
read. The other problem with the current system
is that threads are continually being broken
apart as people get the subject line off by one
character which really takes away from some of
the larger threads. There is also the issue of
people always having to worry about
“cluttering” the list. The current email
list system has so many limitations and
drawbacks that users are constantly having work
around them, even though some may not realize it.
Everyone with a computer now has Internet
Explorer and the ability to use the forum
format, it is time for us to join the modern
world and all use the forum format. It will
save you a huge amount of bandwidth, by only
having to send picture and video files to those
that want to see them, and it will also solve
the problem of large pictures and attachments
clogging up peoples email. The forum format
will make it easier for people to post, and read
all the subjects in a logical, well organized
manner. There is every advantage to moving us
to a forum only format with very little downside.
Many people never like change, and some people
here are so used to the email system, that they
will not like the idea of anything different
even if it is better. We should not let them
hold improvements, they will come around once
they get used to a better system and we will all
be better off. The current antiquated email
list hurts us all by its inherent limitations
and stifles the potential of your forum. You
have a great thing going here, but it could be
so much better. I just wonder why you don’t
bring us up modern standards here on the list
like every other forum in the world.
