First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List
.........................................................................
Jerry,
Thank you. It is more of an issue the software has reached its end of
life about five years ago when the developer stopped supporting it. I
needed to investigate an alternative but never been able to do it and
procrastinated. The push to have this done sooner than later came
about because of some personal issues I am going to be facing and some
serious financial situations requiring me to analyze necessity of
every expense. Trust me it is hard decisions I am having to make
which I hoped I would never have had to face but in the end will make
me a better person and it also could be a whole lot worse.
It appears talking to Bjorn today a couple people set up a new mailing
list. If that works for everyone and transition is smooth, we can
turn this off and transition to it and would need to update the
website to reflect changes.
fyi - The online forum had another database issue which has been
resolved. The timing was horrible with my announcement for the
mailing list.
Thank you again - Geoff

Geoff,
This is Jerry Shelton from HALFTX in Houston again. Can you give me
an idea of what the site and the mailing list costs annually? Before
it is turned off, would you consider selling it in its entirety? I
think myself and many others on the List would be greatly
disappointed and lose a great deal of friendships, knowledge, and
information if the site were to be shut down. Perhaps we can collect
a "membership fee" to keep the site alive. While I've only been on
it for a year, I enjoy it very much and I'm willing to do (much like
the FGF Cannonbird Run) whatever it takes to keep this alive.
If this is something you would like to consider, please feel free to
contact me for further discussion.
Thank You in Advance,
Jerry Shelton
