why can't you have both? The listserv is very active, the forum is not so much. Maybe over time that will change, especially as more useful info is on the forum. But for now, it would seem a bad idea to me to remove either one.
I bet if you just chopped the listserv, you wouldn't get all that conversation transferring over here. Only some of it would, some of it would just die out. Also, the listserv is a fantastic repository of info. It's harder to shoot the crap on a listserv, so most of the info is of a serious nature, and I've found answers to practically everything by just searching the listserv archive. ![]()

Having gone through this on another list let me recommend the soultion. The software was changed so when one signed up for the forum, you could select to recieve all messages for any topic as an email in a format like we do now. This allowed one to have the best of both mediums.

If the listserver was to go away the archive of past emails will still be there and available as it is today.
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.

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).

Ok, I've decided for now to postpone the shutting down of the ZR-1 Net listservice and to continue to keep both the listservice and forum.
Hopefully in time members will see the benefits of having a forum over a listserver. However I've remove any links on the ZR-1 Net Registry web site to joining the ZR-1 Net listservice. I ![]() ![]() Thanks!

Dave,
I vote for the forum. With the forum you can view only the subjects you want to read and do not have to receive all the messages. Brian
