[Rockhounds] (OT) New format for the email group

[Erich Kern]

I like it just the way it is. One feature this list has which most others lack is an easily accessible archive of past posts which are sorted by date, subject and the person posting. For example, some months ago I wanted to read all that Rock Currier had posted on cleaning minerals and water guns. It was very simple to do the way this archive is set up.

I had been a subscriber to the Yahoo based Rockhounds list, but unsubscribed after a few months because 90% of the posts lacked substance. Just plain silly time wasters. 

If it works, please don't fix it. I like this list and all of the good people who post to it. 

Cheers,

Sorry about the off-topic post.  I wasn't trying to imply that there
is anything wrong with the group format, or make more work for the
admins.  More, I was attempting to convey that there are options for a
very robust group environment if that is what is desired.  Even a
simple front-end can be very powerful.  Let me know, off-group, if
there is anything I can do to help with the HTML work.  I'd love to
volunteer time to help create a simple search facility or something.
Don't worry ye lovers of Newsgroup Readers and PINE, I won't do
anything to modify the format currently in place ;)
