[Elecraft] New Elecraft Message Board?

[Fred (FL)]

Wow - 98 against, 2 for.

Everyone seems perfectly satisfied with managing
their own archives and email pile, via their
own email programs.  I'm surprised.  Industry,
and commercial orgs - DO NOT go the reflector
mail-based route.  I refuse to load my email
provider down with the endless Elecraft messages
that come thru by the hour.  I'd rather a formum
server do this, and catalog the messages, and
structure all the hundreds of topic types.

Microsoft's OUTLOOK EXPRESS is one of the
most spam & virus ridden places on one's PC.
I have never used, nor would I think of using
it on my PC's.   Gmail, IMHO, is somewhat
of a joke - for a modern email system.  
Cumbersome is a good descriptor, for gmail.

I use Elecraft REFLECTOR - as it time manages
all the user messages that get posted.  So I
then pour down thru them all, in chronological
order - trying to make sense out of who posted
what about what topic.  That is what they make
forum BB's for!

I've got a lot of time, retired, but I'm not
going to spend my time - sorting and saving
and cataloging Elecraft member emails -
why would I need to do that?  There are very
well tuned software forum tools out there -
that do that for us.

I found out the the forum software I referenced,
is a free, ans supported product, free for the
asking.   In the referenced bateau2.com forum,
when they changed over to their current system -
it took like 1 or 2 weeks for all the posters
and customers to roll over.  It just happened.

I'm quite sure people and customers - don't
patronize and buy Elecraft electronic products,
because of the REFLECTOR tool!  

I suspect, even Bill Gates would turn over in
his ............ on this topic.   IMHO

KILL THIS THREAD, IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.
