This is an excellent point. Rick's forum is THE BEST online forum for paper models, and I do value it as a resource. I find that many of the people we rely on for keeping us supplied with the paper models we enjoy are members of his forum, and without it, we might not have a way to interact with those model designers who don't belong to this group.

Rick... please don't think I am attacking. Like I said, your efforts are GOOD efforts... just not my cup of tea. Any disapproval is not on you or your efforts but on the medium. Telling Stephen King that I like digital books rather than paper books does not attack his writing. Don't give up on your position just because of resistance! FIGHT BACK... like a good man who loves the work. :) -Michael On Jun 26, 2009, at 9:24 AM, Rick Steffers wrote: Well, I am sorry that I responded to cat's misgivings and now that everyone else wants to jump down my throat. This is more disruptive than any mailing list or forum could ever cause. But when I see something I have put in a lot time get attacked, i get a little defensive.

Using a forum is cumbersome and tedious. Rarely are forums using similar software, and often I find that the forums are using software that is incompatible with intuitive thinking. (consimworld.com, x-plane.org) There are forums that function similarly, but then the subject matter isn't following easy to spot layouts - sometimes a particular section that I'm in dire need of - usually in product support forums - is almost as hard to find as is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or doesn't exist. Or the color combination is either garish or the colors are too light and similar to the background to read. And don't even get me started on Google Groups pages. That's abysmal. I'd rather use Yahoo Groups. I'm not 23 any more - and I require reading glasses to read the dang newspaper. My email program shows my mail in black and white. I'd rather have everything in a yahoo group.
