Re: [Callers] Forum vs email list?

Here! Here! I contribute and use little I observe here, as I have gone on "emeritus status" after over 30 years of active calling. Most issues here don't apple to me. There is very little music and dancing where I now live, although there are still some hard core folks. Our issue are mostly

Good morning, Leave it the way it is.. Greater wisdom does not come from contributing to every topic that is floated through this forum. Sometimes a question is answered to death.. I see no reason to pile on advice. Thus we are called "lurkers". "User Ranks" takes the community out of the

Re: [Callers] Forum vs email list?

Could you explain what it means to "vote people up?" It sounds like one would have to be "voted up" to be able to comment. I'm not sure I would call any of the discussions I've read flooded. On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 7:40 AM, Lindsay Morris wrote: > Today its 29

Today its 29 hate-the-idea, 7 like-it, 7 not sure. I'll let it go. Really, all I wanted was a way we could vote people up, so we could give more weight to the opinions of the especially respected folks here (and filter the email flood down to just those people). I wonder if there's any other

Re: [Callers] Forum vs email list?

An email list is a "pull out format," that is, the info is pulled out of its source and comes into my inbox, rather than me having to go find it. Therefor, I prefer the email list as is. Joy Greenwolfe Durham, NC On Feb 19, 2014, at 9:22 AM, Lindsay Morris wrote: > How many of us (you

This feels like a good time to thank you, Chris, for setting up this list. Although it makes for tedious reading at times, it's mostly a great asset with good information and ideas. I don't comment much because someone usually says what I would have, but I keep learning here. Bree Kalb

[Callers] Forum vs email list?

How many of us (you lurkers included) would be willing to see this forum move to a web-based forum? One advantage I see is User Ranks: over time, we vote up certain people because they offer more wisdom. That lets us give greater weight to their opinions, even though we may not personally know
