One further tidbit I meant to include in my long
explanation....
[...]
And without the two lists being recombined, I
wouldn't be terribly hopeful
for the future of the list and the website - or at least my willingness to
continue to run it. Not for any childish reason, but because many of the
future plans I have for classiccmp.org would be substantially more difficult
with two lists, and the time required to maintain the two list approach has
become completely untennable. It has to end, or people with infinitely more
free time (and bandwidth) than me need to take over the list.
I don't realy see where the reasoning is do do this, except
to eliminate CC-Talk. After all, the hard disagreement with
a governed CC-Talk was the original reaon for creating CC-Tech.
To me, there is no real reason to do so. Except, well, the
not working and rather fruiless idea to crosspost. As hard
as it comes, but we have two incompatible concepts. Instead
of now choosing one over the other (or some whish-wash kind
of combination), the best would be to keep the orgins as they
are.
CC-Tech is the 'clean' list, where on topic is handled rather
strict, while CC-Talk is the free environment. Two seperate
entities. It's up to decide for everyone on his own what's
the flavour he likes. No cross posting, no interferences.
I'm not shure what kind of plans you have, but if a 'clean'
list is what you need or it, then it's up to you to point
the difference out in a way to archive that target. And
highlight CC-Tech.
If you're shure that the original list, and I still see
CC-Talk as the legacy, is no longer of interest to you,
I would prefer to offer the necersary hosting. To make
this clear, I had no inclinations to do so, but there is
no need in having a point and then backing off (Me and my
bigh mouth:).
Somebody already put this question up, so yes, if that's
the right way to go, I am willing to take the time and
put it on one of my servers. The needed performance should
be available to host CC-Talk.
Again, my goal was to have the list run as it was intended,
NOT to take it over or such.
Gruss
