And, for what it's worth, I am in full agreement and support of Lawrence.I think if Nafex set up another list on their web page, it would be confusing to members
I manage a couple of lists - with one of them a closed list. The closed
list is quite small, but I spend more time on that one than the other 3
combined.
Further, even if Lawrence was willing to take on the task I would oppose
the change. Over time this list has "evolved". The majority of the list
members - including some of the most frequently posting ones that offer a
tremendous amount of help may not be members of the North American Fruit
Explorers. Eliminating them from the list would be an ill conceived move
- and might well push people away from joining the organization.
In addition to the web site and forums the organization has created, they
could set up a more "user friendly" list in addition to the forums. And
it could be a closed list. But, I don't think, from what I've heard off
and on the list, that a majority of the users here would move.
The openness of this list is one of the major reasons it is as dynamic as
it is. Look around, there is a widespread, not universal, move towards
open community and communication.
Just my 50¢ worth (2¢ adjusted for inflation).
