| I for one, if it went to a web page based format. I'm gone, I'm done, 
I'm outta here. 
Just like a web based E Mail I would stop all e mail completely if I had 
to go with a web based e mail system. 
Ultra slow, and have to actually make an effort to go and read crap. so 
90% of the time it never happens. where now it all is neatly delivered 
to you. 
Now if like a yahoo group[ where you can have both fine. let the web 
page folk have their page and e mail folk still have their e mail both 
are happy. 
But web based only and I'm done.

Sorry to interrupt the "please copy" discussion, but...
I wonder what everyone thinks about transitioning this 1980s-style 
email list over to a modern web-based forum format such as vBulletin? 
Advantages:
-Real-time posting, so that someone's question doesn't get 15 almost 
identical replies caused by the multi-hour delay from the time a post 
is made until it is approved for distribution
-An easier way to follow a topic, seeing all previous, relevant posts 
on the topic in a logical sequence 
-An easier way to follow a topic, as each subject is in its own thread
-Easy access to archives and search
-Ability to easily skip threads/posts that don't interest you.
With all the tech-savvy people that participate here, I'm surprised 
this hasn't been addressed before, or has it?  The 3830scores web site 
was a great improvement over the earlier 3830 list.  Why not the same 
for cq-contest - your thoughts?
