I subscribed and I'm sending this to both lists. We will see what I get. I remember when Stefan originally said that he wanted to transition the list. Sam volunteered at that time and Stefan did not respond (as far as I could tell). I don't know why, but IMHO, the transition should have happened then while Stefan was still around.
I think it would have been a good idea to make an announcement as to who Vern was - I knew because I'd been reading the posts, but not everyone does. I think that's where some of the confusion came about. I do not like Yahoo because of all the useless stuff that they put on the end of the posts. The posts come out on my email reader as 200-300 lines even if the actual thing that was typed was only about 10 lines. The live-aboard list had a very neat little subscribe notice at the bottom of each post. Another thing that I don't like is that the option to respond directly to someone has been taken away. It can still be done, but only if you can figure out the person's address. It isn't automatic. Another list that I'm on is at Topica, which is better than Yahoo IMHO, and also does the respond to the individual first to be summarized but I'm hoping that this will be better than either of those options. Originally the list was set up for people to respond directly to the person asking the question, who would then summarize the answers for the list. That was to reduce band width, and seems to have gone by the wayside. But I hope that the option to reply to someone directly won't be taken away. ___________________________________________________________________________ || The Live-Aboard List : send a "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" request || || in body of message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] || _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/
