REFLECTOR: Email vs forum

[Patrick Sieders]

Brett,

 

You are not pushing your website, I believe that it was I who pointed out
your website and capability during this conversation. YOU, my friend, are
doing a great job with collecting information on our behalf and for our use,
a valuable tool for everyone.

 

Now, as part of your arsenal is the velocity reflector, email forum you use
to filter and give us a chance to read through older emails that I otherwise
would not have easy access to, since I started only last year May.

 

Looking at the poll sofar, It appears that many understand the extra option
we can get out of using your forum, and again, by retaining the older way of
email-sending.

 

I would ask anyone, to consider that : it's additional way to spread the
love/research the material and filter what you need. You are not losing the
capability you have right now.

 

Try to explain to me why that is NOT a good deal..

 

Thx,

Patrick Sieders

See, this and Hiroo's comments are the kind of negative feeling that I just
honestly don't need, so why don't we table this topic?

 

Everyone has a login to Brian's site (tvbf.org
<http://www.tvbf.org/mailman/options/reflector/> ) today, but apparently
they don't realize it, even though you get a monthly email telling you what
your password to that site is. And you're actually meant to maintain your
own email address for that list rather than post "please change my email" to
everyone.  I really think adding the forum option would only be better,
since it would work just the same as it does today for the email folks but
offer additional functionality.

 

But clearly people don't see it that way and I don't want folk's to think
I'm pushing my website.  I don't make any money from my site, I offer it for
the benefit of the community (like th! e Wiki
<http://www.velocityxl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page> ), and it seems
that a significant portion of the community doesn't see it as help. I don't
want to be the focus point of irritation for folks, so let's drop it, eh?
