Just want to echo George's response here. Feel the same way.
(And for all my pleas that Cap Times do more regular non-auto
transport coverage, I too miss it terribly--am unlikely to read online).

Your plea sounds like one of burn out, and I'm sorry to hear it.
I think a major reason the antique (technically unsophisticated)
bikies list
on danenet is popular is that it is simple and is a push, not a pull. (A
website must pull people in. E-mail is pushed - delivered.) I know
that is
oversimplification, but it describes much of my online (offline)
behavior. I
just don't have time to "surf". And I consider myself a geek - network
specialist supporting 200+ servers and 2500+ users 24x7 at a local
hospital.
I don't go to madvelocity.com, and I doubt I'll be at the new
captimes.com
website either. Off topic: I already miss the Capital Times newspaper. I
leave in the morning before the WSJ is delivered, and by the time I
return
home it is stale news (besides not liking the WSJ for having a vacuous
editorial board). Reading for me is an off-line tangible event.
Sitting in
front of a computer 10 hours at work then to come home and do the
same for
more than a few minutes is a drag. (And work has a enforced strict
Internet-is-for-business-use only policy; so no surfing their either.)
I will train and work with anyone who would like to contribute to
this site
and see it continue.
