WAS - KFactor Now "Members"

[Wade & Barbara Akle]

Forget Forums. I am a heavy user of the Internet and can navigate my way. What makes our email group a favorite is its direct access. It is fun most of the time (not lately that is!). Adding more gateways and blocks to talk to each other is not constructive. I for one would not participate in a Forum as there is already Forums all around. It will eliminate most participants who are casual participants... not good for our numbers.
For the last week we had some very constructive ideas, but mostly repeats and repeats and an angry few that need to vent in any condition. And if you must, write a short email instead of a dense page.  
Wade

No, not necessary... Forums are free and can be placed on the current
NSRCA web server. Ed already has one that he created.  

Also you would want the forum readable by the public, but not  
for contributing by non-members.

I think limiting access to a newsgroup is done by creating a new news
server.   That way the group isn't carried by any ISP news server.  We
would
have to make our own news.nsrca.org news server and require a username
and
password.  Sounds like another of these $75/hour jobs, plus the cost of
running a server.
