: I just unsubscribed... sorry. I get too much email to deal with, and I feel I really had no choice. I prefer digest-versions of mailing lists... have subscribed to two at this time... and get at most five longish emails once a week... easy enough to store in a special folder, and quicker than moving a bunch of individual messages. The CulTVman and B9 Builder's club messages all go to the Head Honcho of the site, and he collates them into one or more reasonably sized messages once a week, you see. I subscribed to *one* mailing list... the Amelia Earhart one... and unsubscribed in a hurry... too much talk and flame, not enough info. Frankly, I also like the idea of digests because they can be downloaded as archives from the site, too... but anyway, that is just my own personal preference, and I'm sorry if it makes me lose contact with the Gang. Me and the newbies will have to content ourselves with the message boards!
That really does sound like a good idea, but I just wouldn't have the time to collect all the data first. If in the near future my schedule clears up, I will look into that. For the mean time, I will keep up the board too. Don't look at it as lossing contact. everyone is still encouraged to post on the message board. I just view this one of many ways to communicate with others.
