[vintagvw] SJSU software?

2021-11-03 Thread Lazlo
John - what was the software that was used to run the vintagvw list? Was it infact LISTPROC? Did you ever use majordomo or were you pretty much using listproc because that's the platform that sjsu.edu used? NQ -- Visit the VintagVW archives at

I received this message from Nick who wanted me to post it to the listserv since he has not been able to: VintageVW enthusiasts. Good to see some familiar names and sad that some have passed on. As some of you may know, I am no longer taking in radios for repair. I’m fully retired now and have

Oh a ragtop! What problems does it have? Are you needing help to get the engine going or is it bodywork or both? I haven't driven my bug for probably close to 10 years now and I need to get out Li'l Red and get him going. My wife and I are planning to get a shop built on our acreage so

Oh thank goodness you're still here John! I was wondering if you might have left us so I'm really glad that is not the case! First off, do you know why I can't reply to any messages from within the google groups interface itself? I'm assuming it has something to do with security on the list and

I've been a lurker here since the late 90's as well - benefiting from the fine community's advice and help, which was always eagerly given and tremendously appreciated. I don't really have the skills return the favors. My Bug has sat unmoving for a decade or so as work and life and kids

Hi everyone. The VintagVW discussion list is still on Google Groups, I think some of the issues you are reporting are that Google is making list participation a lot harder without each subscriber having a Google id. The last post before these recent threads was June 2020, per the footer all

Volks, I've been following the thread, newly unraveled by NQ, checking the vitals of the old listserv group. So I suppose I ought to see if it's still receiving me. As I posted recently, I'm alive and well in Nashville, mostly working on my police beetle (and a '72 SB) and hitting the regional

NQ, From a 50 year IT perspective I suspect it was moved over to googlegroups so that it was free. No servers to worry about and if emails that are flowing thru this group get the same scan as all gmail messages then it is pretty safe. The admin side of it is probably pretty easy and

I wanted to ask everyone's opinion on what they think would be a good direction for the listserv? I'm not willing to let it go, but 9 years ago when it was moved over to google groups, it was never the same. For whatever reason, John Sroka moved it over - I suppose due to the dwindling support
