expertise on many details of old machinery. So my guess is that an email
to the list saying "hey, I need to recover the contents of files on an RSX
RX50 floppy, what is the easiest and most reliable way to do that" would
have produced several high quality anwers in a matter of hours.
SysSrc has a web presence with an accessible front end and--most
importantly--promotion. In comparison, to "enter" the CC list, you have to
walk down a dark alleyway to an unmarked door and knock. Not at all the
same thing.
It is true there is a tremendous amount of expertise bursting forth from
the members of this mailing list, but if we are to put ourselves out there
as willing to volunteer for such work, there has to be promotion.
