First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List
.........................................................................
Thanks for all of the replies. I agree with Paul that part of the
problem with switching is developing new habits. I've been on this and
other lists for a long time, and for me, the best part of lists is the
serendipity. In quickly screening all of the messages that come in, I
come across things I might never have otherwise learned. It's a lot
tougher if I have to go drilling for messages. It's the same problem as
with reading news online vs. reading a newspaper. With the former, you
tend to only read the stuff that reinforces what you already think,
rather than continuing to broaden your horizons by coming across
something new.
It's a shame that the boards are less user-friendly, as the traffic on
this list has really tapered off. I guess I'll search the boards for
answers when I can't get the answer here, but despite the inferior
functionality of the boards, it seems that it's only a matter of time
before this list becomes a ghost town.

Oh board vs. List...
I'm only on the list... I have toooo many message boards to keep up with and
the list makes it easy to follow! Plus no post count stuff to worry about!
Besides, for some reason the email list seems more personal and what not
compared to the forum/board. We're a pretty tight knit group on here, yet we
do encourage the new guys to speak up! I guess it's hard to change my ways
after being on the list for 9 years now. Wow... Have I had the Firebird THAT
long?!?!?!?
