Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 7:09 am Post subject: The various RV sources of information

We interrupt the DNA discussion for a minor announcement.



I know a lot of folks get their RV fix from several locations, all of them

simply outstanding in their own ways -- Doug's Van's Air Force and this

Matronics list, and the Yahoogroups. As so of you know, Doug has decided to

close up the Yahoogroups lists and incorporate them into the VAF Forums

(which, let me repeat, are outstanding).



But some still want the Yahoogroups option and in order to give it to them,

and also to prevent the "community" from getting bogged down in the "do it"

vs. "don't do it" (shut 'em down) debate, I set up a replacement Yahoogroup

that folks are free to use or ignore (and, yes, I'm aware that folks have

set up alternative groups from time to time, but the debate of the last few

days around the "community" has made it clear few found 'em or...for that

matter...had a reason to leave the soon-to-depart Yahoogroups and, besides,

nobody has publicized their existence during the last few days.)



http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RV7/ (unmoderated)



Repeating: This is not meant to diminish the quality and participation of

any existing list -- and did I mentioin how terrific they all are? -- but

each "format" has its strengths and weaknesses and it appears some folks can

live with the weaknesses of the yahoogroup format because of its perceived

strength. So...there's a choice. And as with any choice,  whether you make

it or not is completely up to you, but you should know it exists. Obviously

I'd like to see the prolific question-answerers show up there since they

seem to be available at all of the current choices -- certaily a testament

to their character and willingness to help.

Thanks
