[HBR] Paraellel HBR site?

[Mike Hanz]

Hi Walt,

Your situation was an important concern when the Glowbugs reflector was 
changed from its old U of Idaho web location, since a number of the 
subscribers live OCONUS and have the same constraints.  I think either 
Yahoo or Google gives you the flexibility to do exactly as you 
describe.  I seem to recall that if you choose to get the e-mails in 
plain text or get the digests, then you don't get the attachments, and 
you would have to use your browser to go to the group website to see 
anything you are interested in.  I guess I don't see how that's any 
different than what we have now, and it relieves Kees (to an extent) of 
having to put attachments on his QSL.net website quite so quickly.  On 
the other hand, as the administrator, he could move anything placed in 
the yahoo or google reflector files area over at his leisure when so 
desired, to keep the compendium in one place as it is now.  I just took 
a look at the Google glowbugs link with my browser, and the archived 
messages have any attachments shown in-line as thumbnails, along with 
the size of the full version.  For example, I sent a message with John 
Webb's 1960 synchronous detector circuit diagram last week, and it shows 
just the thumbnail with a size of 217kB next to it, along with "view" 
and "download" buttons.  You just click and save if it is worth having 
on your personal hard drive.

73,
