Everyone deserves an opinion.Mine:Email list: reactiveForum:
proactiveTakes 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. :-)Mk

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??
