Mailing List/K Factor - Mail List Alternatives...

[Dean Pappas]

Hi Gang,
Steve has this absolutely right.
How about we try the following: 
1) return to automatic reply-all. We have all goofed with the new setup.
2) Let's use this mailing list for the business of NSRCA that we don't necessarily want hanging out in the breeze: 
	We can argue rules.
	We can debate how to teach judging.
	The schedule writing committees can use it as an easy way to communicate with each other, and keep other interested parties informed.
3) Let's note on this mailing list when you have created a new thread on a "more public" forum, so that we all know and can contribute in a place where potential newcomers can benefit.
4) This is the place to discuss and design an outreach that may be implemented on the other forum(s).
	Maybe our first order of business should be to create a small set of threads that cover general knowledge for the precision aerobatics newbie. 
	How about an RCU thread that simply informs one as to where to sign-up for NSRCRA? It'll be a membership drive thread.

The big forums are not a replacement for this list, they are an excellent adjunct. Yes, we must adapt ... improvise ... overcome, or something cool sounding like that.

 One of the big problems I see with loosing the list is that on the list
some of the heated debates thats goes on that only concerns NSRCA, could be
a real negitive to our sig. I was on one of the other mailing list and even
tried it twice, it was so negitive that it made me to never want anything
to do with that sig. Do we really want our in-fighting to be for public
display? It's good for our sig to have these discussions, bring out good
points and bad, but some of it could be a very sour for the general
modeler. Lots of us still use RCU and it is very good for some things, like
the Electric pattern forum that I ask Mark to start, very good for people
that was interested in pattern but like EP, and might bring in people that
wouldn't have had any interst in pattern but liked EP.
