Everyone deserves an opinion.
Mine:
Email list: reactive
Forum: proactive
Takes a lot more time/energy for some of us to be proactive than
reactive. :-/ There are so many forums out there that I
could participate in for a variety of topics and interests, but I
simply have zero time to do so. So I'm a fan of low-volume email lists
for this reason. :-)

I think this has been asked before, but opinions may have
changed...... would it necessarily mean the death of the list if we
had a forum AS WELL? I'd be happy with both running in parallel, so
folks could frequent one, the other or both as choice and time
allowed.
I've had several requests for a forum attached to the GZG
website, which would be fairly simple especially with Jaime's kind
(and longstanding) offer to help run it. But I seem to recall that
when this was last mooted, there were a number of strongly dissenting
voices of the opinion that the list would then fold through lack of
use and we'd lose several old (in list terms!!) and valued members, so
the idea got shelved.
Thoughts now??
