How many of us (you lurkers included) would be willing to see this forum
move to a web-based forum?
One advantage I see is User Ranks: over time, we vote up certain people
because they offer more wisdom. That lets us give greater weight to their
opinions, even though we may not personally know them.
Here is a good discussion of email lists vs user
forums<http://www.freelock.com/blog/john-locke/2010-03/mailing-list-or-f…
.
And here is a one-question survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Y9GS3BK>.
I don't have a huge investment in this idea - just thought I would toss it
out there. I'll give it a day or two then share the results with all.
Please vote. Thanks.

Not at all willing. If this list does move to a web forum, I'll
volunteer space to keep it running as e-mail.

I am for the web-based forum, because some topics generate too many e-mails I don't
have time to read, and many of them I don't find very helpful.. - Steve

One way to handle this is to use a mail client that supports "mute".
If you mute a thread you won't see any more of those messages but
you'll still see other messages that get sent to the list.
For example, in gmail you would click "More" and then "Mute".

Responses are coming in to the survey -
will post results tomorrow. You can vote

My suspicion is that the survey will be more biased toward the web forum
than replies to the list. ;-)

This list will stay in it's current form. If someone wants to set up a competing
web-based forum, then they are free to and then people could vote with their feet.

So far:
3 love it
3 like it
6 not sure
19 hate it
So it's a good thing I don't have much emotion invested in the idea.
Thanks, all who responded.

An email list is a "pull out format," that is, the info is pulled out of its
source and comes into my inbox, rather than me having to go find it. Therefor, I prefer
the email list as is.

Good morning, Leave it the way it is..
Greater wisdom does not come from contributing to every topic that is
floated through this forum.
Sometimes a question is answered to death.. I see no reason to pile on
advice. Thus we are called "lurkers".
"User Ranks".... takes the community out of the forum.. and the dance.
The dance is a very critical part of our communities... what we contribute
to the dance is important... but no more so than every person in that hall.
Keep the forum open..
Happy to be a lurker..
