Forum style...does this mean that messages can begin with I was a student at a small 
Midwestern college and I never thought something like this would happen to me...  ;^)

Anyone on the list have webspace sitting idle?  If so, does anyone else have
web based experience?  OK, now here's the real kicker, is anyone interested
in making the leap into the next level of communicating?  I guess what I'm
trying to sell here is turning the list into a forum based deal.  Kinda like
this:

http://broncoii.org/b2forum/index.php  or this:

http://www.wheelingadventures.com/Northern4x4/ikonboard.cgi  or even this:

http://forums.genvibe.com/zeromain

I'm a member of all three of these.  It works great, and you don't have to
worry about people getting all aggrevated about getting off the list, and
you can check whatever posts you want to check, whenever you want to check
them.  It also organizes the subjects up, so if wsomeone has a technical
question, they can post it in a tech realted section, and someone that just
wants to BS, can post in the general discussions area.  I for one would love
to see us turn the list this direction. I think it would be beneficial to
all of us.  

Just a suggestion.  I wish I was experienced enough, and had the web space
to put it together myself, but alas, I can not.  I would however be willing
to help out as much as possible with the sites creation.  Pelle, this may be
something for your page.  It would add a lot of traffic, which could stir up
interest from sponsor types.  Maybe a little extra $$ for the Chevelle!?!

Most welcome.  I had initially heard about this mailing list from that site.  TONS of 
good stuff there.

OUTSTANDING!  Is everyone here on that forum?  Am I the only one that missed
it?  I was just thinking it would be cool to start one for US
specifically.  I'll sign up for that one, I suppose, if no one wants to get
one rolling for the List.  I just figured it was a good way to share pics
and stuff!  Thanks for the link!

 I think this list is a little more personal, plus you get it as e-mail 
instead of having to go to a browser.  Also, if you start archiving all of 
the e-mails, you'll run out of space pretty quick.  I don't know how you 
found this list, but I came here from the  www.chevelles.com  Team Chevelle 
site.  The link is there for this list as well as the Chevelle Tech forums 
and all of the other Chevelle stuff in their site.   It would be a better 
deal for pictures, but that's the only advantage I can see.  Also, if you 
did change it, what would I do with my Craft-O-Matic Subscription 
Cancellation Unit?  Anyone here wish to buy it??  :-))

I do love the Craft-O-Matic Subscription Cancellation Unit!  I guess it's
not a good idea after all.  :(  Oh, well.  Ya win some, ya lose some.  As
long as you're not losing to rice rockets, it's all good!

Actually it's surprisingly easy to set these up.
Here's a free one that is really good:
http://www.phpbb.com/

and here it is in use
http://www.indianachevelles.com/phpBB2
http://www.5speedtransmissions.com/phpBB2/

You need a web host that supports PHP, and one of several databases (I use
MySql).
And that's about it.

I'd be glad to help you set it up.
