Hi all

 

I have been a member of the Softrock Yahoo group for years and it works very very well. So I though it was a model that would read across to the LF reflector and work as well. Like so many things that look good on paper the reality is something different. I now feel that Yahoo should earn its spurs before closing BS down, if that's possible. I think using "Force / Power" to change a situation is totally wrong let nature take its course, we appear to have the luxury of the alternative option, let time tell.

With minor issues my e-mail presentation of BS versus Yahoo is pretty much the same. I direct both BS and Yahoo to the same folder so that I have a continuous thread of mails from both sources. Probably Yahoo is not so immediate as BS but if I am anxious to hear the latest and greatest PIC driven project from Andy G4JNT or the most recent application of an SBL-1 monolithic mixer from Roger G3XBM I can click onto Yahoo group direct or wait 1/2 a day and receive it with all the BS traffic anyway. In the words of a famous TV rodent "Seeeemple... squeek!!"

Hello Roger,

 

this evening I have a grabber running and wanted to announce it on the Yahoo and Blacksheep reflectors. I had to scroll back to last Sunday to find a mail from the Yahoo reflector.

A quick count showed that over the past week I received 3 mails from Yahoo and about 35 mails from Blacksheep.

I agree that Yahoo has a lot more bells but despite that Blacksheep seems still the place to be.

So there seems to be a lot of "anti-capitalists" active on LF/MF ;-)

Dear LF,

IMHO it's time we all moved across to this Yahoo group and shut down the Blacksheep. Having two lists is a pain. Those of us who've moved here surely agree it is every bit as good as the Blacksheep list, and in many ways much better.

What I still totally fail to understand is why good keen LF folks like Stefan DK7FC, steadfastly refuse to move. It is almost like an anti-capitalist stand, which frankly is a bit silly. It costs us nothing and gives us a lot.

Managing the blacksheep it is getting increasing difficult. I dont think the intention ever was to run two reflectors. Of course there is nothing to stop those who object to joining the Yahoo! Group from setting up their own. Mailman, and Majordomo are open source as far as I am aware.
