There are times (just about all the time, really) when i wish that this list would join the 21 century (just like their radios) and get converted to a FORUM (BB, phpnuke, etc..).
This is so very archaic...
No offense to anyone, the content on here is priceless, goes without saying. But a mailing list???

It works reasonably well, but I don't think QTH.net makes a lot of money on list management, and probably isn't too motivated to fix issues.
