Re: [ARSCLIST] The case for message boards.
I think you do have a point.I have learned some things,in my time here,and have been involved in some serious discussion,but not nearly as much as I would like. I was expecting to find people who knew considerably more than I did,even if it was just in one area,like classical music.
There is too much silliness here to be worthy of a list bearing the "endorsement" of the likes of ARSC,or The Library of Congress.I am seriously interested in rock/R&B,and related musics,as an ameteur historian.I have always been seriously disappointed at the lack of discussion,and interest here in this.I have stuck around,as it has been somewhat difficult for me to find good groups/lists/boards. I have been contemplating leaving for a while.Thanks to a link in the Wikipedia article on Joyce Hatto,I have found one,at least for classical music.It's at : http://groups.google.com/group/rec.music.classical.recordings/topics?hl=en If Tom,or any of the other serious classical people here wish to join me there,I suggest you do so.
It seems our friend Don Tait,has spent a lot of time over there.Much more than here.I wonder why ?
No I have not decided to leave this group...yet.

I am tired of people who have nothing better to do than sit on the internet
all day, instead of doing their job. I am also tired of these endless
conversations that do not belong on this so called "professional list". Why
can these people not just email each other and not involve the rest of us.

Hi Brandon
I agree with you. In fact, most of the posts I don't even read, I just hit
delete! I find it frustrating that these conversations are carried on
using
the list. Why can't people just email the given party directly? Makes
sense to me and then I don't have to keep going through unwanted mail.
My 2 cents worth.

What makes you think that you have to "keep up" with it? If you don't want
to read something, just don't read it!
You are saying that, just because you use a mail service that forces all
emails to be downloaded, you must deny me and any one else the opportunity
to
browse the wide range of topics that appear on these lists.
My service shows only the headings, which can be sorted by sender, time, or
subject. The [List] tags sort out the various lists. It takes a few
seconds
a day to scan the lists, of perhaps hundreds of posts, pick a subject that
might be of interest, then page through all the posts on only that subject.
Nothing is downloaded or saved that I don't want. The rest can be deleted
from
the service without downloading, with a single mouse click.
On some lists I may read only one or two posts out of hundreds in a week,
but often the ones I do pick up are of great interest. It really bothers me
that
someone would deny access to this resource just because they don't have the
tools to use it properly.
