I personally don't like OneList because of the advertising quotient. Under
normal circumstances the work to maintain the list is not onerous -- it's
just when your house is sliding down the hill that it becomes a little more
than you can handle.

 And here I thought that was just a Pacific Northwest phenomina (Oregon). 
 The rains must have gotten confused and gone too far south.  The weather has 
been pretty good in Portland OR this past winter.

 Clark--
 Great article about the Ruby in the latest Steam in the Garden.  Nicely 
done.  I am glad to see all the pictures of all the old codgers :-)  and 
thier locomotives.  Now I can put faces with the names that come up on this 
list.  
 I had hoped to make your acquaintance at the Spring Steamup, even had 
reservations made, but something has come up and I will not be able to attend 
:-(.
If there are going to be other steamups out here on the west coast, 
particularly in the Northwest, I would surely like to attend.  I do plan on 
going to San Diego in July for the convention, maybe I will meet some of you 
there.

Happy Steaming

Would it make life easier to switch over to onelist for the server etc?  People
can then do a lot of this maintenance and picture posting on their own.
