RE: egroups small_scale_steam_models

Dave, I have high bandwidth, at work, and can read the e-mail on my lunch time, and I still like the no attachments rule. If the system won't allow attachments, then "worms" are unable to get into my system. I am on other lists, one of which got hit with a certain e-mail virus recently, and even t

Special Susan et al, Agreed--we get up to ( and over) 20 a day. If I had to d/l pics etc too-(and there would be many). Despite my "user friendly" super fast iMac I would quit !! Did I hear clapping out there?--shutup!! Geoff. Hi Dave, All. > >I would absolutely NOT want the SSLS list to

RE: egroups small_scale_steam_models

Hi Dave, All. I would absolutely NOT want the SSLS list to move away from plain text, or to allow the addition of attachments. I pay for my connect time and being suddenly faced with a one megabyte plus download with a slow connection would be a serious pain. I often send and collect emails d

RE: egroups small_scale_steam_models

All this is getting worse than the election!! (IF that is possible!!) Let both groups carry on as they have been doing. This site doesn't need to change a thing. So let's get back to Steam. Geoff. 10:35 AM -0800 12/9/00, Charles W. Walters wrote: >>I respectively disagree. Small Scale Li

RE: egroups small_scale_steam_models

Dave, I agree with your reasoning. It seems that the push for attachments is to share photos and dwgs. Given that, what do u think of Finescale Onlines approach of having a "photo section" that can be addressed through a hot link within the basic text groups, or use the link approach as some of t

Re: egroups small_scale_steam_models

Dave ; Stick to your guns. I dropped my egroups for 1 reason. I got nailed with a virus called KAK.HTA. It fouled my computer badly enough that I had to clean the hard drive and start over. It did not come from an attachment either. It came from HTML enriched text. I'll supply details if anyo

Re: egroups small_scale_steam_models

Dave, As the list admin for the livesteamers list I totally agree with barring any form of attachment and any post that is not strictly text. Russ Kepler, the list admin for the modeleng list filters out all non-text posts before they are propagated. Your reasons are correct too. Low bandwidth o

RE: egroups small_scale_steam_models

I have to vote "no". I don't want to have to wait for these messages to download, or FTP them in from this server. Why can't people just do as I do and post binaries to a web server then provide a link for those of us who wish to see them? Trot, the fox who likes having a choice! On Sat, 9 D

RE: egroups small_scale_steam_models

Dave, As long as you set limits. For example, on the size, say 150k for pics. And it does not cost you one bit of money and just a moment of your time to manage the switch, I vote yes. The last thing anyone would want is for you to spend anymore time managing this list. You have spent way to m

Chuck, A good point. I know what you're saying and understand why you want it. It's obviously important to you and I can respect that completely. I know several people that have the "free" web pages and claim that they are really quite painless to maintain. The provider usually only pops up o

Trent and listers: I set up this list http://www.egroups.com/group/steamers when SSLIVESTEAM broke down back in April. It's still there for the posting of pictures, run day and steamup schedules. I really don't push its use as an email list because Dave has done a superb job with this list. I

For what it is worth. (Oh God here goes Salty again) I think both lists serve a purpose to our hobby. I think a pat on the back and a round of applause should go to both of the gentelmen for their time, effort and devotion to promoting the hobby. Well done guys ! Salty

Dave, It appears you haven't been to or used egroups. The only advertising is a couple of lines on each message. Most users automatically skip that area of the message from my personal experience. We are not talking about a web site we are talking about a email group. And once a member sends y
