Hi Tom. Well I know people do comment about mailing lists being old fashioned, but actually there are still lots of them around and likely to be more considdering that people now get E-mail on their tablets, phones, even tvs, heck, there are still! some very well established newsgroups out

Hi Tom. Well at least in britain, gremlin legends started as a way to explain the various faults and breakdowns experienced by plane pilots in the second world war. It started out as a bit of a joke, indeed when I was quite young I once knewa vicar who was himself a pilot during the war and

Wow, sounds like a good and interesting thing, people always say my signature looks chinese, it'll be interesting to see if this improves it. Is there an audio podcast or demonstration that people could have a listen to before trying the game? All the best, Drk. - Original Message -

On the other hand, it's far easier to step into a conversation mid way through with a mailing list. For example, lets say we were discussing dRaconis' new title, which a none Iphone user would obviously find a less interesting topic. Then however I could see this leading back to a discussion

Hi Dark, Well, I don't think mailing lists are old fashioned per say I just personally feel forums do have the advantage of supporting more members as well as being able to organize threads by topic. As you know on Audiogames.net there are different categories such as general, new releases, off

Hi Dark, Lol! That's funny. I just asked my dog to find a gremlin and she just lifted her head, gave me a doggy look, and went back to sleep. Either she doesn't know what one looks like or doesn't care. Its noon and probably near her nap time. Cheers! On 11/17/13, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi

Hi Dark, Well, I certainly see the advantages and disadvantages of both which is why I put the question to the list. I like forums myself personally, but I also agree there are advantages to a mailing list that others prefer. Its not a question of right or wrong but simply a matter of preference.

Hi Charles, Well, sad to say that person is obviously a bonehead, because e-mail is not old fashioned or obsolete. Plenty of people still use it, and e-mail has to a large part replaced standard postal mail. Very few people send things by post, and those that do are usually bill collectors and

Hi Charles, True enough. It is not the technology at fault but how it is used. I admit even I tend to post things to Facebook etc that I would not put in an e-mail such as what I had for supper or that I am listening to a certain book. I've come to realize for most people Facebook is an informal
