Re: [Messengers]Re: Mailing list debacle continues...

Body

good points - theres been a fair bit of propagation on that note -

especially in the forum

department - lately... im not so sure, personally, what better purpose a

forum serves over

an email list, other than not filling your mailbox up... i tend to avoid

forums and guestbooks,

as i find them more annoying to navigate than mailing lists. im likely

missing some info

because of this, but having to deal with a forum or a chat room is

annoying enough to me

that i dont seem to mind :)



i think that the messengers mailing list needs to be promoted as *the*

place to get all

information, and to post information, with the euromessengers list being

first choice for

crossposting... the messengers list does tend to be mostly north

americans, but is still at

least in theory an international list. at this point, id weigh the

euromessengers list at about

75% importance, if ranked comparatively.



basically, i think its important to try and direct people to one central

location for information,

and then have them choose to branch out from there, rather than risk them

discovering one

of the branches, and never bothering to explore further. even if someone

discovers the online

messenger community from one of the branches, they ought to still be

directed towards the

big list...



and while im thinking about it, bega, send me info on the dc list so i can

add it to the mailing

list section...
