David / stephen Any opinion on ozdotnet.net etc?
Yes – forget it. What you’ve done is good (the 2 domains available). Of course I agree with your point 1 - what I really meant to say there is that let us not pretend or even say that this is a step in the direction of web forum/list harmony/nirvana. It isn't. What next? I’m not sure. Perhaps “branding” is not enough – how to encourage some real value to the “product”? A little OT, but maybe relevant - Some people are a bit concerned about the high level static on ausDotNet – an example would be the one I started a week ago, which has gone ape an obscures real programming stuff that a few have posted. I wonder if the unsubscribe rate has risen in the past month? Sometime last week I did posit that the current (.net) list might reflect OT to some outer planet before rebounding the on-topic stuff to the list subscribers. That could keep a few subscribers happy and still subscribing. Your views? Personally, I don’t see OT as a huge nuisance – and I’d guess there are a few others like Greg Low who are mildly interested in some of the posts, and happy not to contribute to the particular OT. (Of course, GL contributes very positively on his special areas of knowledge). Moreover, it’s impossible to keep a valid .net or coding subject from straying – and constricting to even suggest that people should keep to the subject. While I’m happy / resigned to no web forum ↔ list harmony, it would be nice at some future time to use the new domain to establish a forum on which a variety of relevant and tangential stuff might be deposited. _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
