Subject: Matt Dralle – Why are we using this antiquated system
???

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.
