New Elecraft Message Board?

[Fred (FL)]

Wow - 98 against, 2 for.

Everyone seems perfectly satisfied with managing
their own archives and email pile, via their
own email programs.  I'm surprised.  Industry,
and commercial orgs - DO NOT go the reflector
mail-based route.  I refuse to load my email
provider down with the endless Elecraft messages
that come thru by the hour.  I'd rather a formum
server do this, and catalog the messages, and
structure all the hundreds of topic types.

Microsoft's OUTLOOK EXPRESS is one of the
most spam & virus ridden places on one's PC.
I have never used, nor would I think of using
it on my PC's.   Gmail, IMHO, is somewhat
of a joke - for a modern email system.  
Cumbersome is a good descriptor, for gmail.

I use Elecraft REFLECTOR - as it time manages
all the user messages that get posted.  So I
then pour down thru them all, in chronological
order - trying to make sense out of who posted
what about what topic.  That is what they make
forum BB's for!

I've got a lot of time, retired, but I'm not
going to spend my time - sorting and saving
and cataloging Elecraft member emails -
why would I need to do that?  There are very
well tuned software forum tools out there -
that do that for us.

I found out the the forum software I referenced,
is a free, ans supported product, free for the
asking.   In the referenced bateau2.com forum,
when they changed over to their current system -
it took like 1 or 2 weeks for all the posters
and customers to roll over.  It just happened.

I'm quite sure people and customers - don't
patronize and buy Elecraft electronic products,
because of the REFLECTOR tool!  

I suspect, even Bill Gates would turn over in
his ............ on this topic.   IMHO

KILL THIS THREAD, IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.

I find it no great problem, even though some folks think their words are so
important they feel the need to send the same message...twice.

It only makes one hit the delete key..twice..while mumbling "idiot" twice also....
