I know for some of you this will be painful but when listening to all the past complaints with the listservice:
- Can't have attachments which mean no pictures, or charts, etc
- Email volume
- Access
- Email changes
- Can't get email at work
- Accidently sending emails to the whole list
and so on....
I just believe the forum would be more fun.
Also as far as having both, it justs seems to delute everyone. Remember when we had more then one ZR-1 Club. People are forced to either join both or pick one.
I have listservice members who don't like getting emails and then I have people on this forum who complain there is not enough activity to make it worth hanging out here.
To me the forum offers advantages like if someone asks for help the responder could actually posts pictures or diagrams.

Well, if you only want to have one, I would vote for the forum. I too prefer the ability to only read threads of interest, post pictures, etc.
However, it's possible that some listserv education might help with some of those problems. I have my subscription set up as a digest, so I only get two emails per day. In addition, one can peruse the emails online if web access is easier than email access (or use a free webmail address as your listserv address like aim.com or whatever).
