RE: Evolution of the Scirocco List?/Going to Vortex format

["Shannon Fenton" <sfenton@amazon.com>]

I second this..why couldn't we use the VW Vortex message board format? It
allows for so much more than majordomo and plus it ties in with the .org
site much better. Thus driving more traffic and making the classifieds much
more rich. Its not free but would be IMHO the best bang for the buck.

Subject: Evolution of the Scirocco List?


I wasn't going to respond to this at first due to lack of time, but here is
my opinion for what it's worth.
I have been having to delete entire block's of posts for awhile now, knowing
that I was missing a lot of good info.
I just don't have the time anymore to even read the subject lines let alone
each individual post.
Work is hectic, I am going to try to go to school again, and the twins
(Sciroccos) take a lot of my time.

I do spend some time on VWVortex, and AudiWorld (formerly A4.Org).
Both of these sites have a very easy way to read posts and information is
easy to find.
There are no e-mails for me to delete and I can pretty much QUICKLY go
through all the posts of the day.
Is this a possibility for Scirocco.org and the Mailing list someday? (my
pocket book is open if it is a matter of cost).

I agree with most that with as many people as we currently have on the
mailing list now it is now VERY difficult to get valuable info from the
list.
If our membership grows the # of e-mails will increase leaving even fewer
people with the time to go through them.
I just can't go through 100 e-mails a day.
Logic seems that a lot of people besides me aren't able to go through all
these posts which means they aren't contributing to the content either, this
is a no win situation.

As much as I love the Scirocco list I might have to bail just due to this
simple fact.

My hat goes off to Brett and all who have spent endless hours of their time
and $ to keep this list alive, you are more than just enthusiasts...

	  Josh, I don't know about you, but some people are willing to read
	through hundreds of emails a day looking for something valuable,
while
	others are more likely to just "delete delete delete...", such as
	myself.  (I know how to use the delete key and I use it A LOT!)  If
the
	list comes to the point where everyone spends most of their time
	deleting, they may as well sign off the list.  Now imagine the list
	being around 1000 users.  Can you imagine if we doubled the amount
of
	garbage on this list?  Its difficult as it is to find information
	between all the other crap that presently resides on here.  We keep
	tryin to get more and more rocco owners on here, but what happens
when
	they all show up?

	I dont believe in setting up rules or kicking off users, I only ask
	people use their *farkin* brain as much as possible before posting
to
	the list.  Its really a simple concept.  It basically comes down to
	this:

	How much deleting are people willing to do to find the truth?  At
some
	the crap on the list will outgrow itself and its then that list will
	cease to be a useful tool.  Some will leave, some will stick it out,
but
	where does it go after that?

	Thats all I am saying.....  Lets keep it useful!

	BTW, This has nothing to do with the .org club or the list change.

	 Andre'

	P.S.  If you feel the same way, I would love to hear from you.
