Subject: LF: "New" RSGB_LF_Group
I've been following the thread of
discussion these past few days and as I was the originator of the initial group,
back in the mid-1990s, I thought that it only right and proper that we move with
the times and transition the group to Yahoo! Groups. Some will recall that
we made a similar move sometime in the late 1990s from the initial packet group
to the blacksheep.org list. So this
latest move is merely a further progression as technology improves - some might
say not before time.
You can subscribe to the group at [email protected]
and initially I have set the system up for initial messages to pass through the
moderator (me). This is to try and catch spammers, not to impose
censorship. Please note that whilst I have continued the association with
the RSGB, the relationship is mostly historic and the list is open to all -
indeed its strength and value is the diversity and geographic spread of its
membership .
The new group of course has a website, as an alternative to
merely an e-mail feed. For those unfamiliar with Yahoo! Groups you will
need to visit this in order to set your preferences. The URL
is http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/rsgb_lf_group/
I propose to keep this blacksheep.org list going short-term
until we see how people adapt to the new online list.
I would welcome volunteers from the group to act as moderators as I don't
these days keep regular watch on the reflector. Ideally, I would like offers
from people who have been associated with the group for a long time.
Offers, please by direct e-mail to me please ([email protected])
