North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

["Kathryn Mathews" <kathmath@charterinternet.com>]

Me too.  It doesn't seem that the volume we are currently generating (except for this discussion on membership and web alternatves) is too large to have coming into my email every day.  If we regularily got a lot more postings to the mailing list it would be overwhelming and then it would make sense to go to a bulletin board, but until that happens, I'd just as soon keep it the way it is.

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

'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.
