What's with all the emails lately? I thought that is why we have a Forum. Wouldn't it be more efficient (from a reader/replier viewpoint) to answer questions/comments on the Forum? Not being around this weekend, I had to open 14 emails this morning rather than go to the Forum and read about winch ropes (if I so desired). :confused:

The old timers like email, drives me crazy, plus I can say that here because they probably won't even check here :)

Joe,

This has been a topic within the group for quite some time.

In the beginning of the club they used the Yahoo email list-serv, a few years back we created the forum.

Some members still use the Yahoo list and do not want to migrate over to the forum.

And it really is a shame because we have many many knowledge people that aren't on the forum. Our information base is basically cut in half.

Is Tom still running ther Yahoo group ?

Why not "un-subscribe" if you do not wish to receive the E-mails ?

I can unsubscribe, and probably will, but then again, why not use the forum? I, like a lot of folks, am a member of numerous forums so that I can share the benefits of a vast amount of knowledge with many members.

Too bad we do not have the benefit of the folks who still use the Yahoo site. And vice versa.

Almost as good as rope made with baby seal skin.

Have you seen my Ivory winch controller with the bald eagle eye inlay? Nice. I got it from Randy. Traded for moon rocks.
