The ZR-1 Net is a listserver, it contains a list of everyone who is a member email addresses. When someone sends a question to the list everyone on that list gets a copy of the email. The list has almost 1,000 members. If everyone posted only one email a day you would get a 1,000 emails. Thank god not everyone does. :-)There are ways to limit the volume of email. For example I can set you up to receive only "TECH" emails.Why I have a listserver rather then a forum like everyone else? For one it's private, a forum anyone can join. Someone could join and start trouble and leave. What I call a "drive by posting". There are pros and cons to both types. When I asked the ZR-1 Net members which they prefer most wanted to keep it the way it was since it is more family like. This Sept we will be 9 years old. How many forums are that old? :-)
