I subscribed and I'm sending this to both lists. We will see what I
get.
I remember when Stefan originally said that he wanted to transition
the list. Sam volunteered at that time and Stefan did not respond (as
far as I could tell). I don't know why, but IMHO, the transition
should have happened then while Stefan was still around.
I think it would have been a good idea to make an announcement as to
who Vern was - I knew because I'd been reading the posts, but not
everyone does. I think that's where some of the confusion came about.
I do not like Yahoo because of all the useless stuff that they put on
the end of the posts. The posts come out on my email reader as
200-300 lines even if the actual thing that was typed was only about
10 lines. The live-aboard list had a very neat little subscribe
notice at the bottom of each post.
Another thing that I don't like is that the option to respond directly
to someone has been taken away. It can still be done, but only if you
can figure out the person's address. It isn't automatic.
Another list that I'm on is at Topica, which is better than Yahoo
IMHO, and also does the respond to the individual first to be
summarized but I'm hoping that this will be better than either of
those options.
Originally the list was set up for people to respond directly to the
person asking the question, who would then summarize the answers for
the list. That was to reduce band width, and seems to have gone by
the wayside. But I hope that the option to reply to someone directly
won't be taken away.
