REFLECTOR: Was Brakes -> Now Forum

[Brett Ferrell]

I'm not advocating here, if people don't want to change anything I'm
totally fine with that.  But a forum-style board can still allow those that
want to to recieve and send their messages by email, so they would not see
any change.

  If you want forum style, checkout www.velocity-xl.com, where Brett sorts
all the emails and puts them in sort of a forum style system.

  Easier to research I agree, but it's nice to get some emails about stuff
we are all interested in.

  Hi Kevin/All,

  A forum would be MUCH easier to find old threads later to review valuable
info posted up IMHO. There is a -good- reason most all other interest
groups on the web are in forum format. The only downside is the necessity
of a relatively active administrator.
  For instance: this Matco brake upgrade thread is very valuable to me
personally (XL FG: orig Matcos). I can't really take action on this this
weekend so all I can do is create a file folder for this thread on my end.
OTW I have to either email search my folders or (please no) search a an
archive. In a forum format it would -always- be there for everyone for
future reference and easily found by a search.
  I participate on multiple forums on the web for varied topics and I fear
a lot of very valuable data is lost for those of us who subscribe here:
searching a digested mailing list archive in my mind is akin to searching
microfiche vs the ease of a forum format.
  Kevin, are you a member of any forums? Frankly I can't understand anyone
who is would prefer this to a format a forum.
  I was on a VW mailing list that went to a forum 10 years ago...
  No offense intended to the originators of this mailing list and those in
their comfort zone here. It is very valuable, just very difficult to search
for a topic covered in the past.
  To repeat, there are valid reasons that nearly (virtually?) all interest
groups on the web have abandoned mailing lists and are forum based.
  We would all benefit greatly, flight safety would benefit by a forum
format.
