I've been trying to post a reply since last night and it hasn't gone through. So one last try.
I'm sorry this has caused a problem. It was not intended to replace this e-list. I added EOS discussions to forums for Editorial Photography, Photojournalism and General Photography. I use forums and e-lists in conjunction with one another. I was just posting it for whoever was interested ........ not as a replacement for this list. There is a wealth of knowledge here that couldn't be replaced.

"If it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind. So what is wrong with this long-established list? 1) No spam? 2) Users expected to reply at the bottom 3) Messages are bounced if you don't snip at least the header 4) A moderator that keeps things largely ON TOPICWhat aspect not covered by this will the new one cover? 1) Web interface - seemingly advert free 2) Separating film cameras from digital ones - avoiding one religious war I guess 3) Separating lenses from cameras??? Running lists is (a) great (pain). The very best are down to a few people with access to the resources (server) and with the tenacity to keep up with what is a thankless task year after year. Good luck with the new venture: I'll stick with good "old fashioned" email for as long as W-J hosts this list ...
