I'm a little late in responding to Trey's question and Randy's answer. Trey asked,
>Is the list still active? There hasn't been any traffic for over a week. >Some please respond. Andy replied, >Most of the traffic is now on the web-based boards like T&FN, >LetsRun, etc. >Been quiet here since the Olympics, but basically the membership >here is a tiny fraction of what it was 2 or 3 years ago. Unfortunately, that's true. I really don't understand why, unless it's just the convenience of being able to follow a given thread more easily. My experience is that the convenience doesn't extend to being able to post data in tabular form--that is, when I carefully align columns within the table, posting it on T&FN or polevaultpower destroys that formatting. Another good thing darkwing had going for it a few years ago was that the 2500 or so subscribers represented a more international membership than it seems to me I see posting on the web-based forums. I did know of a few people who tried to subscribe to darkwing and couldn't work their way through the subscription protocol, but that wouldn't explain the departure of persons who already were subscribed. Are there reasons for people leaving darkwing that haven't been mentioned? Cheers?
