Yes, Rich Cuff just posted here at 9:45 this morning that the tentative SWLfest
2016 dates are March 4-5, but he still has to finalize that with the hotel
later this month.
Did you not see that email?***

Hi Rich,
Thanks for bringing this up on the list. While most people on this
list probably have broadband internet connectivity with unlimited
data at home and at work, I'm guessing that many of us are
increasingly reading list postings using mobile devices over mobile
networks *without* unlimited data usage.
So in a way, many of us are going back to using a limited
connectivity channel (cellular/PCS mobile networks) that charges
extra for exceeding a set data usage limit. I hate it when that happens!
Personally, I think the best practice for SWLfest list postings of
news articles is to only post the plain text of each news story,
along with the URL to that that website article so readers can choose
whether they want to download all the pictures and graphics and
potentially bandwidth-hogging video ads (blecch!) Fortunately, that
hasn't been a big problem on the SWlfest list.
My practice for list postings has been to first easily copy and paste
graphics-laden news media articles into a text editor (such as
Windows notepad) then copy that plain text into the body of my email
list posting. That's just basic courtesy and good netiquette, but
maybe all SWLfest subscribers aren't aware of that. It only takes a
few seconds of effort, and results in much easier-to-read postings.
In some cases where the info being posted is not on an online server,
a reasonably-sized file attachment is necessary. The file size
limitation for attachments posted here is up for debate. What is it now?
Thanks for doing such a great job administering the SWLfest list for
so many years..
Cheers,
-Ed Cummings
