Sorry to hear that RCSE is ending soon. RCSE is the ONLY reason I
still subscribe to Model Airplane News. I feel that was the least I
could do for giving us RCSE. My oldest issue of MAN is dated 1947
and I still have most issues since then. It has been many years
since MAN has had anything of interest to me so I will not renew my
subscription when it expires.
MAN has been slicking up and dumbing down for years until it has sunk
to little more than a picture magazine. When I need something to
read, I go to the attic and bring down a few issues of MAN, Model
Builder, RCM, or Air Trails to read. They are a lot more interesting
than anything published today. Model Builder was the last really
interesting model magazine.

The time is now for the end of RCSE.
RCSE has been around forever in Internet years, since the 90's. I
can't even remember when it started. Some of the online stuff goes
back to around 1999, I know I have some stuff back to 1996 and that
is definitely not the oldest stuff.
Posts to the list have gone down, mostly stuff about events that are
happening out there. There hasn't been too much serious discussion
in a while and flame wars, well everyone has been civilized.
The equipment that the list is running on is aging and it's kind of
hard to get excited about a mailing list these days. RCSE has been
around forever in Internet years, since the early 90's. I can't
even remember when it started. The computer guys at Airage want to
shut the server down as soon as they can. It's not too cool to be
running a Windows NT server these days. There are probably other
security reasons to shut it down.
I don't have a shut down date for RCSE, but expect it to be
soon. So if you have any favorite memories, please post them to
the list before it goes away. Maybe you can mention your favorite
technical guru's discussion, flame war or Sal bashing. And sorry,
RCSE won't cover the infamous challenge by Lucas to Joe.
Thanks for the memories.
