Welcome all


 

I have volunteered to moderate this new group.
It is a transition from

which was wounded by large quantities of spam.

I will hold an open period of "open membership"
This will close after a period of time and new members will be
reviewed.

I will post the daily digest of this group as often as I can which I
will expect to be at least 5 days per week. The daily digest will be
edited for spam. If anyone wishes to beat me to the daily digest
mirror post from this site that would be nice.

My intent is not to be a moderator of content or opionion as I am not
saying or representing to be the most all knowing on this group. I am
also as prone as anyone to an occational post that is not appropriate.

If this new site takes off that is great. If it does not then we will
decide after a period if this serves a function.

We will continue to search for a way to bring the archives and files
from the old group over to this one after "edit of spam" and will look
into the way to do that.

Unless feedback is counter to my feelings I will not be reverse
posting new posts from this group to the old one.

This is a choice for all of you and you may decide which you prefer
to live and which to die.

I will start the mirror of daily digest tommorrow.

Mac suggests that I shouldn't even bother with posting from the
original group and making a mirror of those messages here.
It would save me time if we did make a clean break. Let me know if
anyone has strong feelings on that.

Any ideas as to how to move an archive to the files section or even
to copy all the messages would be good to know as well.

That makes sense to me. I think it might be a good idea to just post
a notice on the old page from time to time so that people can find
this one easily.

I suggest you make someone else and "owner" of the list as well
(Yahoo allows 2 owners). That way, if something happens to you (i.e.,
things come up in your life, you get sick, go on vacation, give up
making mics, whatever), someone else will be able to keep things from
falling apart.

I nominate Bob Cain, if he's willing. He seems like a reasonable guy,
whose fairly active on the list, and he's been posting here a very
long time. Speaking of which, I looked in the archives, and I see I
made my first post in March of 1999. Time flies!

We got it covered. Macrohenry is control for ownership and he has
listed me as a moderator. We both have active the "delete group" key
as well as other functions. If Mac wishes to add a second moderator
I will leave that to his decision as I don't have a preference.

Because of the international members I see joining as well as
providers that appear to be phone connected I switched off posting
binaries but the Files and Photos area within the web based access
are active and open for posting. If someone wants something removed
from these areas you may have to e-mail me to accomplish that.
