I would have to agree with the last few posts. My business partner and I are adding forums on our new site as more of a courtesy for those that are interested. When we were deciding on this, we thought about approaching the IEEE and ask them to have us host their forums/listserv. Of course this would have driven a lot of traffic through our website and would have made stats look that much better, and our biggest reason for possibly doing this was to be able to allow for precise topic/keyword searching. We only came up with one problem which prevented us >from ever approaching the IEEE, convenience.
The listserver provides the information to you, you don't have to go and look for it, it is always there in your inbox in a compact(usually)format. I am curious as to how the decision was made for this change? Where the members who have signed up for this listserve asked for their thoughts or input on changing such a fundamental functionality issue? Is there a chance for reconsidering? My personal opinion is that this is not a good idea. I know that even with high speed access, there are weeks where I do not open my browser, I just check email. Just my 2 cents Garry Hojan SCS www.regulatory-compliance.com From: owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org [mailto:owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org]On Behalf Of Pommerenke, David Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2003 8:55 AM To: John Woodgate; emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: RE: Changes to IEEE emc-pstc web-based services Dear Group, My experience is that with WEB-based systems there will be significantly less participation. Posting of large documents, as people will not carefully think about file size, compression down-sampling etc will make it worse for people on dial-up connections. Discussions will be based on the knowledge of those documents. Without strong reason the present system should not be changed. I am not aware of those strong reasons.
