In the end, I will use either one. But, my preference is the listserv.

My vote is to keep the list. E-mail works just fine for me.

Forum Is Fun
I pick the forum. Photos and diagrams ect. More modern utility vs. a list! Why endure a long detailed description when a photo is worth a thousand words. Besides one more star and I win an LT5......

I also like the forum. As I am new to ZR-1 ownership I don't read all the emails I get from the listserve because most of them don't apply to me yet, such as maintenance issues, gatherings, etc. If we are still able to search the listserve archives for topics that have already been sent out that would be great. I think that the forum will allow for more interaction and quicker interaction between members who are online at the same time. There is an infinite amount of knowledge of the ZR-1 and all that it entails here at this website. I only hope that someday I will make some valuable contributions.
Just my .02. Thanks for being here! Jim Jones

I vote for the list
I like the list because I learn about things that may happen, not just what is a current issue. The other advantage of the list and the emails is that if my Internet access is down, I still have the email on my computer for ready access.

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 to the masses. Thanks!

Mom, I'd like to strongly second what John Pesar said on the Registery news list:

You are more than a class act... you are the cream of the crop, and we're incrediably lucky to have you run this thing. And I'm not saying this because you're keeping the listserv for now - I'm saying it because it is true regardless of the individual decisions (like this one) that are made. A lucky son, Marc |
