Hello all,

I got sick and tired of the spam on this list, not to mention the fact that
nobody is minding the store here to stop it, and also the fact that this
list software is really circa 1995 in terms of capabilities. I'm talking
woefully out of date.



I thought I'd provide folks with an alternative and with the help of Steve
Nervig, we very quickly did just that. We have had about 28 people sign up
for the new list, and there has been some traffic on it.


However, I do see via this list that people want to continue using this
antiquated list, and I guess people don't mind the spam here.
The trial period for the "new" list at mbcoupes.org is coming to a close on
September 2nd, and after that point I'll be required to pay $65 to continue
to operate the list for the next year. I don't mind paying this myself (as I
paid for the mbcoupes.org domain name already) for the good of the
community, if people want to use it. It's not a money thing, at all. But it
seems that the usage has been lower than I thought -- people didn't seem to
want to move from this list over to the new one.


I'm good with that, folks vote with their feet .. or not. If people don't
want to use the new list, I'm not going to push the issue nor spend $65 per
year to operate a dead list.



So, just a heads up to all, I'm going to let the "new" mbcoupes.org e-mail
list expire on September 2nd. I will delete all names and email addresses
for the 28 folks who signed up. For those who signed up for the new list, a
heart-felt thanks for your willingness to try something new.  I think Steve
will also delete the sign-up web page he created for the new list.


Cheers,
Gerry
