  I like the mailing list too. I like the chatter coming to me, not  
me having to go find it.  I can always google a topic for  
information, but what happens on this NAFEX list seems to me to be  
more of the kind of talk one would have over a backyard fence with a  
neighbor who also gardens or grows fruit trees.

The backyard 'over-the -fence' exchange is certainly archaic and  
antique, but it suits me just fine. If all this chatter goes to a  
bulletin board where I have to search out various threads and try to  
remember what I was interested in and where it was, searchable or  
not, I would not be bothered to do it.

Send it to my in box and I read some, scan through some, save some,  
delete some.   What I end up with is the lore of the members in my  
own useful format:  a folder, a note on an index card, a printout.

Up to date?  No.   But I prefer it.

'Rooting' was absolutely accurate when he described email listings  
being
'antique', but it would be more descriptive to say it's 'archaic'  
from a
technological perspective.  I have wide interests, and read across the
board in many disciplines and I simply don't know anyone still using
mailing lists as a repository of information.
