Hello,
My 2 cents on e-mail vs. forum. I've been a involved
with a Falcon e-mail group that converted. The forum
format is cleaner and keeps your e-mail down.
HOWEVER, because it requires you to go seek
information each day. I know that as a result, I
became a more selfish participant - I read less about
others' issues and so might now not see and post a
solution to a problem I'd catch on the e-mail format.
I also think the sense of community almost
disappeared. I'm not seeking out the friendly banter
that I got when the group was e-mail based, so I now
feel less in touch with who everyone is. I feel like
we traded a community in and got a technical hot-line
in return. This group is a great one - don't lose it.
Just my opinion.
-John Headley
