As far as I understand, two main things are changing: A) The LEM website will be hosted/managed with Wordpress. B) The mailing lists will be ported to the same website. I understand the need for A), the improvements (both technical and for the people working on it), and I appreciate WP (I even have my professional website there). OTOH, B) seems (to me) much less justified; I managed a mailing lists for years (on YahooGroups), and I had not much to do, save for kicking out spammers and explaining rules to newcomers. Ok, GoogleGroups may be seen as evil, but I'm sure there are free mail list hosting alternatives. > but I do know something about running listservers and that's not for kids > these days, I can assure you But if the List is hosted by GoogleGroup, what's about a listserver?

Yeah, I know. But that was a migration from a different platform for the SAME service (mailing list). Migrating to a (very) different service is not just a nuisance, it's a revolution. > I see a real danger that a lot of people will only find their way over > there, when they encounter problems Yes, exactly that: I usually go to forums just when I have a need/problem, while I happily browse the mails coming in thru the various Lists I'm subscribed to. All in all, I think the people runnning LEM will hear users opinions, and they will decide what's best. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
