REFLECTOR: Now Forum

[Richard J. Gentil]

I have wanted forums for years but was shot down in flames about 7 years ago when I discussed all the obvious advantages to them. 

I will not list them again, just say I'm in favor.

However, I will as well submit that our mailing list format is not a secret weapon that keeps us happier and more informed that these folks, whom I will assign a modicum of intelligence despite a lack of vision (no canards):

If you toggle on to everything, then you'll see all the traffic posted to the forum. Responding to the emails from your phone will either require an APP or using your browser. So the only advantage I see of the mailing list format is the response that hits everyone by email alone. You will have that if you get an APP, if not you'll have to log into the forum by phone browser.

After watching the fracturing of the Canard forums the most important thing for me is that there is one community so folks can have conversations with the largest set of builders possible.  If we can and want to improve it, I'm all for that, but I don't want to create dischord.
