Bob, the origins of this mail list precede Matronics by many years. In fact the list

started on a text only list server prior to the existence of HTML browsers and even

HTML. When the public began to join in on the Internet and not just computer science

types many problems arose in USENET and in mail lists. Spam being just one of them.

Most people had only very slow modem connections, 2400 baud being hi-speed. In order

for the system to work, messages had to be kept short and anything not directly

related to the topic at hand had to be restricted. Arguing (flame wars), offensive

language had to be squelched immediately. This required an active moderator or two,

sharing the job.



Since this group is by nature a skilled DIY people, interested in a common hobby, some

minimums of introduction and identification standards evolved. We like to know who

we're talking to, where they live and what their project is at the minimum. There have

been a number of mail servers in the past that were always donated. The moderator most

often was the owner of the mail server but sometimes not. The last move was to

Matronics and that choice was made because it looked like for quality of service it

would have to go commercial either being supported with advertising or voluntary

funding. Matt's Matronics was already set up for voluntary support and that was where

the group preferred to move. The group had two admins at the time of the move and they

moved along with the list to Matronics. Subsequently both retired from the job and Guy

Buchanon volunteered to continue the task. His intervention is almost never required

and no one that I can recall has ever been booted from the KF List since it has been

served by Matronics. The group has changed a bit over time and it no longer has any

childish flame wars so Guy only reminds people gently when we don't recognize someone,

he also might give help for people wanting to post pictures but overall it's really a

pretty good group.



That said, I welcome you to the group and I'm absolutely certain that many others do too.

Nervino has an Aerobatic Box for the performers of the Reno Air Races, each 

year they come here to practice which is very enjoyable to watch as we live 

across the highway. We are southwest of Reno/Stead Airport in CA.



We both are glider pilots, me from the 1950's and Bob the 1960's. lots of 

time in gliders............Bob is a CFI II and glider Instructor, A&P, built 

a Harmon Rocket which he just sold.

We flew with Dan Denny in the late '80's for a demo ride never thinking we'd 

actually own a Kitfox.  I tend to say more than Bob................~ : ) 

Oh, Bob is learning how to soar the Fox.......did pretty well today, cu's 

everywhere.  I get to try next time.



Thanks too for the background info on this list..............we were 

previously on the Aeronca list having owned a Sedan..............now there's 

a group that likes to talk!!



Hope to meet some of you one day.  Toodie and Bob

Ah yes. Good old Majodomo. started at CU by a Kitfoxer. I was one of 

the first to sign up. My memory cells have the dates long forgotten , 

but seems like 1995?

Then the Major spread all over for various subjects. Back in the AOL 

days  because we new nothing about what to do.

Now days the forum boards have almost taken over. Matt keeps his 

lists working just fine with his custom mods. I tried to fix my 

lists, but the SW was to much to learn another language. So my lists 

just struggled untill someone finally created a Forum replacement. A 

good thing and allowed build time.

Be happy to!  Might be a  while, we are getting ready for winter even though the temps are in the very  high 80's this week............ we know it will change soon.  Bob  is changing the oil in our tractor today for plowing snow, just hope it  doesn't start in October like last year.  Was a very long  winter!
