    It's looking good here. Excellent work. Thanks for the work, though
    I am sure it is but a fraction of the work of keeping it up. We are
    subscribed and it is working nicely, with replies only to the author
    unless you send 'Reply to all", which we did in this case, with a
    reply to both lists...
    Thanks for the effort of keeping it going!

    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.
