You are not keeping track of what is going
on.
I said earlier I would like an open democratic vote to
take place on both reflectors. Open and transparent in simple language state
your preference openly on the reflectors and not a closed shop vote via Yahoo
only.
Again I say there was nothing wrong with the old
Blacksheep reflector it served its purpose well so why change. For me and others
as expressed on here we do not need an archieve files system for either email
input or picture uploads, just an activity alert system with small email
attachments. End of story. The transition from one to the other was too rapid
without consultation, had it been otherwise perhaps there would not have been so
much controversey taking place.
I have not voted for the reasons specified above. What
ever the outcome I will not lose any sleep over it !!! but at least my opinion
was heard.
As far as possible I want to be in control of my
files and other material that I have an interest in and not to be in
the pockets of others.
I can see your point of view
that directs you in the opposite direction but that is your
choice.
This discussion at present is wasting too much of my DX
ing time on all of the amateur bands especially 137 Khz to 50 Mhz, which is open
fairly frequently these days. In between Horticultural outside activites ie
planting, hay cutting, hedge cutting etc I am monitoring 136.5 and 502 Khz and
50.1 Mhz at the present time. For those so equipped pse call and I
will respond on CW

Mal,
We'll let others be the judge regarding your attitude and helpful
inputs.
By the way, have you voted yet?

I am only quoting what you published reference items 9
and 10. In some other messages from you there is also mention of vetting and
banning. Why is this such a problem with you. No one else seems to be
concerned.
I am merely pointing out concerns that I have
about some of your postings where vetting and banning keeps cropping
up.
My argument and others is that one should be
allowed to get their opinion heard without fear or favour and I do no like
to bombarded with words that imply restrictive practice.
I am not aware of any attack going on but surely
I am permitted to challenge what others say, if it effects me and in
this case the move to the Yahoo reflector does, as it does others as well
and they are expressing their opinions daily.
It particularly effects me since I am one of the few
radio amateurs that are active daily on 500 and 137 khz and a voice
on the reflector is useful to update activity, propagation
conditions, DX alerts and technical data about changes of
equipment, power etc.
Modes currently available when in CQ mode ie CW
or Opera.

Dear Mal,
Who said anything about ME being a moderator of the LF group? Not
me.
Please, stop this personal and nasty hate campaign.

I am concerned about items 9 and
10
Messages can be VETTED and DIFFICULT members
banned.
Sounds like a POLICE state and what are the
credentials of those VETTING and what is a DIFFICULT member probably
someone who has a different opinion or point of view from his or even a
sense of HUMOUR
What ever happens avoid him as a
moderator

Subject: LF: An "LF-reflector"
Yahoo group instead .....PLEASE
With the latest outage (5 days already) may I again
suggest that the LF-reflector migrates to a Yahoo group?
In
over 10 years I have rarely had delays in messages, outages, or
problems with any group to which I belong or moderate.
Instead
they have had these advantages:
- Messages can be read on the web if preferred (saves cluttered
in-boxes)
- There is rarely a delay of more than a few minutes before
messages are received.
- All messages are archived and searchable.
- Large files can be stored.
- Photos can be stored - 100Gigs worth.
- Links can be stored/shared
- Videos can be stored.
- Polls can be run.
- Messages can be vetted if preferred (by a number of moderators
to speed up the process)
- Difficult members can be banned in exceptional circumstances.
- Spam messages can be filtered
- Calendars can be set up (for sked times, news of tests etc)
The advantages go ON and ON and, frankly, I simply cannot
understand why the change hasn't made years ago. With the problems
this week it is surely time.
To set up a new Yahoo group called
"LF-reflector" (or whatever) would take about 30 seconds and migration
to it by all interested members here would take about a day at most.
All you need is to agree a group name, who owns it, who can moderate
posts and some basic group ground rules/FAQs.
Please, think
about it again.
