Send your protests to RDS if you want to keep this list.

I have zero web access to the new list,, but then, i have zero web access
to this one too, so no problem. Juggling benefits/drawbacks, the new list
has advertising, but can be moderated. Moderation has good points and
the possibility of abuse. I wanted a good programming language, and am
not going to be distracted by the politics of listserv management. If i cannot
use a language, i am free to use another or write my own. I have already
removed myself from this list and subscribed to the new one. Splitting the
small user population tween two listservs is not a good thing.

I dont really care about the list because i always have and always will use
my mailer to post to the list. The web interface to me is useless. I would
have just prefered not spending the 2 minutes it took to change my filters to
the new list.
Was there really a NEED for this new list or was it only a novelty?

It looks like more than 1 person has disappeared from the lists.
I don't see anyone talking about windows programming on the new list.
I myself refuse to signup on a commercial list that is collecting
demigraphics and dumping cookies on my hd. You can't send posts
to the list without signing up.

No there was no NEED to change.
RDS is probably getting paid to use the new list.

This old list seems to deliver messages much faster than topica as well.

Ten bucks says that ain't true.
However, MTS recently mailed RDS a Euphoria Bulleting
Board, excellently hand-picked and crafted, and ya
know what?
RDS didn't even reply to my goddamn mail.
Now this dude comes up with this crappy 'Topica, The
Unknown List Server For Nerds' and RDS takes it like
it's a God's gift from heaven.
Look at this nice BB I made for Euphoria;
http://www.messagefriends.com/talk/mts2000.html
It lets you inline HTML in your posts, use graphic
smiley faces, moderate the board, link in images,
urls, format text, etc.
And I made the forum to kinda match the RDS site
layout.
Go figure.

I can't imagine anyone paying RDS for only 250 or so users

Personally, I don't give a whit what list server we are on, as long as it works.
The transition went without a hitch for me.
I subscribed to discuss programming, not the relative merits of list servers.
Some discussion is understandable, but enough is enough, and as far as I'm
concerned, we are pushing the limit....

Me either, I don't even notice which list they're
coming from, until sombody brings it up. Why don't
we shut down the listserv now, so we can get all
the moaning over and done with, I'm not looking
forward to it:(

Or maybe keep both, each to her/his taste? I'm not having any trouble,
either.
