Actually, I sent a post to the old list about two hours ago (of similar 
topic).. still waiting for it to get there...

I'll post it here too..

-- COPY OF MSGS SENT TO LISTSERV --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I for one, do prefer this list over the Topica List, and I'm the one who 
suggested it to 
Rob. 
The advantages that I have lost to the move are of little signifigance 
to me though.. 
I enjoy reading the posts, and I also enjoy replying.. 
I can do that from any list, doesn't matter to me. 
I just want to stay in the game.. 

BUT!! The reason I sought out the topica list is because, I'm tired of 
having to repost, 
wait, find out if it made it to the list, then repost... etc..etc.. 
Other people have had the same complaints.. 
I beleive this was Robs motivation to switch over, not anything to do 
with MTS.. cause 
he'll be around regardless... 

More often than not, my posts have not made it to the ListServ.. (A lot 
of times I've 
been glad though.. LOL) 
Even posting from the ListServ webbase, it was the same thing.. 
Just recently in fact I had to repost a message, FOUR times before I 
gave up, and it 
never did make it to the list... 

Particularly when I post from the webbase, it was a pain int the anus, 
cause I don't 
have the option of saving my sent mail.. 

The topica List IS stable, I'm sure of that.. 
It lacks in areas, but also has features that this list doesn't.. 
I for one am willing to sacrifice what I've become accustomed to and 
make changes.. 

>Was there really a NEED for this new list or was it only a novelty?
