say go with a forum AS WELL.
GZG realted topics are already being discussed on other forums anyway.
It would be good practice to offer an official one and bring more
punters Jon's way.

Everyone deserves an opinion.

Mine:

Email list: reactive
Forum: proactive

Takes a lot more time/energy for some of us to be proactive
thanreactive. :-/   There are so many forums out there that Icould
participate in for a variety of topics and interests, but Isimply have
zero time to do so. So I'm a fan of low-volume email listsfor this
reason. :-)

I think this has been asked before, but opinions may havechanged......
would it necessarily mean the death of the list if wehad a forum AS
WELL? I'd be happy with both running in parallel, sofolks could frequent
one, the other or both as choice and timeallowed.

I've had several requests for a forum attached to the GZGwebsite, which
would be fairly simple especially with Jaime's kind(and longstanding)
offer to help run it. But I seem to recall thatwhen this was last
mooted, there were a number of strongly dissentingvoices of the opinion
that the list would then fold through lack ofuse and we'd lose several
old (in list terms!!) and valued members, sothe idea got shelved.

Thoughts now??
