Death of the listserver
Dear Richard and Jim [co-administrators]: The EMC Laboratory that I work for (Acme Testing Company in Acme, Washington) has the quietest open-field Emissions Sites (OATS) within a 1000 mile radius. We planned it that way. The village of Acme has a total population of under 100 people. My home in Glacier, WA (five miles from the Canadian border) has a population of 90. Cable and telephone companies do not run underground cable for 90 people. Cable or broadband Internet is a wetdream that will never happen here. It's 56k ... or nothing. I find this daily interchange of EMC-related topics to be very important in my work. I will miss it if the participation dwindles.

Re: Changes to IEEE emc-pstc web-based services
John has succinctly summed up the situation that many of us find ourselves in. It is a shame that the internet community is being divided into the "haves and havenots" (broadband vs. dial up). I for one refuse to be forced to "upgrade" to broadband from my very satisfactory $7.50/month current internet account. As one who has had an email address (and Unix shell account) back in the days before most people ever even HEARD of the internet, I am saddened by the current trend towards massively increased "content" that is wiping out much of the benefits gained from better and faster hardware. I still use the ALT functions in web pages I write to insure that they are lynx friendly.

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.
