Well ... you don't learn new tricks to an old ape, Luis. I am used to
receive my list email (I am on many lists) through my mailbox. I know
about forum, I am e.g. on the PocketFMS one. But, with a mailing list,
you're sure to see all the new postings. And answering with copy is no
problems, all browsers will do it for you, if you select that in your
Preferences.
In any case, I also have my "netiquette" which is: Change the title
when the subject changes, delete what is not relevant to the answer,
sign with my name and - in the case of the convention of this list: Add
"do not archive" at the bottom of the message, if I feel it is not of
common interest for Kitfox Builders. And all this is easier on a list,
which I am used to.
Cheers,
Michel

And to add to what Michel said, this matronics List is one hell of a
lot easier to deal with than the Yahoo group that I also am associated
with...the Jabiru Engine group....that thing is a real pain in the a__!
One whole page of "path" information to scroll down through, and they
don't think of using "do not archive"...or maybe they don't HAVE an
archive, I don't know. But if I was King, I'd make the Yahoo Jabiru
Engine group change over to this matronics list/format/forum, whatever,
and let us read information, not unnecessary "path" information. Ok,
guys, I got my flame-proof underwear on...fire away.

p.s. yes, there is a matronics list for Jabiru Engines, but Yahoo
somehow got its foot in the door and nobody seems to want to
change...it's the old VHS versus Betamax thing all over again.
