Its often difficult to impossible to understand the reasoning behind a
move like this from the outside, and since I do not provide support to
LEM first hand, I realize exactly where my opinion weighs.
I would ask that some form of a mailing list, such as Mailman, or
something similar be retained. I do not plan to follow if the list is
moved from a mail list to a web based forum.
If LEM end up as only a web based forum, I would like to take this time,
when we are all still together as a group, to say thank you to everyone
who made LEM happen. It was a great run and I very much appreciated all
of the efforts made that kept this list alive.

Hmm, since Bruce hijacked this thread to talk about LEM going to web
forums (another thread altogether), I will compound his "error" by
seconding his visceral hatred of web forums. Add to that the pernicious
and apparently unstoppable spread of "clubs" whereby drugstores, grocery
stores, and just about every other seller of something is forcing
customers to join their "club" or be discriminated against with higher
prices. They can call it customer loyalty program or whatever BS they
want, but I refuse to carry around a piece of plastic to show my fealty
to every seller who wants me to buy something from them. And did I
mention how I really, really hate people who don't use turn signals, and
especially those who think it's perfectly all right to slow down for a
stop sign but roll right on through if, in their "judgment", it's safe
to do so?
Be careful about this LEM forum thing, Dan. I understand it makes
sense for you in a lot of ways. But the downside is that it very likely
will cause the disintegration of a worldwide community of like-minded
folks you've spent way more than a decade creating and maintaining. So
farewell, Bruce, Dan, Dan and the rest of you who have enlightened my
mailbox for years.
