Hello Pete,
I agree with your comments. I belong to several (6-8) reflectors, and
there are a couple of conclusions I've drawn.
1) TT is the most interesting to me because it covers such a wide
variety of topics.
2) Specialty lists seem to be very, very slow, and eventually die.
3) By having a diverse bunch of topics....I actually learn much more
and over the long haul, increase my pleasure in the hobby.
What would one rather do....belong to many lists to get answers,
or have one good list?? I prefer one good list.
73 from.......

When trouble arises and things look really bad,
there is always one individual who perceives a
solution and is willing to take command.
VERY OFTEN THAT PERSON IS CRAZY!
