I'm glad you feel like moving on and leaving this disagreeable incident
behind you. Thank you, Sarah for perservering in supporting this listserv
and taking it to the next level. Change is always difficult, but
ultimately leads to unanticipated benefits and improvements. Thanks for
taking the time to think this through and the trouble to advance us to a
higher level of communication.

I've gotten many e-mails of support and it has been very encouraging. I
have not and still do not intend to ask for subscriptions. I'm hoping our
advertisers will pay the way. It has been more of an ordeal than I
expected, but I must be an idiot because I'm married to a contractor
(another 200 bucks, another 2 weeks) and still didn't anticipate this. I
also must say that it's not me that's made the list successful. When I
started the website project I looked for other listservs and website and
they're not up to par from what I've seen. I realized that we got very
lucky when we got the great contributors we have on our listserv. I can
only hope they and you lurkers will carry it on after the move.
Well, as you know we're behind schedule but it really is coming. I was
hoping within a week, but I found some bugs today that might set us back
some more. It depends on the programmer. As for the conflicts over the
past week I'm very sorry you all got dragged into it. Let's just keep on
truckin'. I'll inform you all as soon as the site is up and running.
Thanks for all your support!

Whew. Well, I am usually more of a "lurker" but I do occasionally chime
in. I was not even aware there was another vascular list serve. I am not
sure I still really understand, however I am not sure I would want to join
now even if I knew how. I read this listserve faithfully and have read the
emails about this being converted to a website sometime in the future.
Does anyone know when that will occur? Will there be instructions posted
here as to how to go to the website and use it? I really enjoy the emails
too, as I work contract and feel I have a "peer group" on the listserve. I
haven't seen anything clear cut in regards to fees. I will say that I for
one would be willing to contribute to whoever the appropriate
person/persons is/are to help cover any costs. I feel this information is
extremely valuable and have learned much from this service. I think it is
a great idea for any professional group as a way to share ideas and bounce
things off other people in their field, so could understand some
entrepreneur individual setting up other similar sites/lists as a way to
make a little money. We pay for journals, etc and those are ways for us to
keep our knowledge base up to date, and they don't talk back to us. This
format is so special. I don't know Sarah, but certainly appreciate what
she has done for all of us. The discussions do get lively at times, but it
is entertaining as well as educational! Websites aren't free, and they do
take time to maintain. I don't think anyone should be banned unless the
reason was very well justified. I don't know the politics behind all this.
But I certainly want to thank the appropriate people for putting this
together and maintaining it for all of us. Is there a way to set up an
account for those of us who would like to contribute to do so? That might
be an idea, and it could be voluntary. I know such things can be set up
through paypal accounts. Or just sending a check in the mail. What
ever....
Please post any information that would be helpful for the faithful
readers who want to keep in touch. And thanks to all of you for enriching
my practice and making me a thoughtful more knowledgeable practioner!!
Sincerely,
Halle Utter, RN, BSN
