You can do that right now.

That might keep some people from leaving the list. Maybe we need better software. ------------------------------ I'm sure that many people leave the list, because they're simply sick and tired of downloading/skimming/deleting the huge amount of email generated on a daily basis. If they find that the tedious process doesn't justify the occasional gem of information, they bail. Those of us that are REALLY friggen bored keep on, just cause it's something to look busy with at work. Why exactly is it that the RCSE is an email list? Why not just move it to the web, and one of the many "bulletin board" forum formats? There are some really sharp, high-tech, and advanced forum engines out there that would work beautifully for the purposes of RC info sharing. And the beauty of em would be no more opening up your email to find hundreds of messages worth of arguments and BB-gun duels at 10 paces. Anyone could peruse the forum at their leisure, and quickly see the response structure of various threads at a glance. Heck, throw in a registration process and a coupla trusted moderators, and you have good security for the "clubhouse" as well, keeping the riff-raff out and the clinically insane in and happily drugged on visions of thermals and slope lift. To be honest, I've always been a little perplexed why this info medium is still using the rather archaic, slow, and sometimes downright frustrating system of email exhange. A web forum would be so much better, on many different levels. Somebody fill me in.
