During all this discussion, someone had the forethought to secure a new
reflector.

## Shane just nailed it ! Moving all the e-mail reflectors OFF the
contesting.com home page
is NOT doing anybody any favours. No point in me referring anybody to
contesting.com
when it doesnt do em any good, and they cant access the various e mail
reflectors.
## Its like contesting.com is purposely trying to destroy itself...which it
is succeeding.
## I too emailed the admins about this several times...with no reply.
So now all the specific
groups like AMPS etc, have simply migrated over to groups io and also
yahoo, etc, etc, where
you can post pix..and schematics, and entire books on specific subjects. Not
being able to post a
simple pix or schematic is about as stupid as it gets. Trying to
describe something without a pix
takes some longwinded creative writing skills, and then some. And folks
will still get it wrong.
## contesting.com needs to... re-invent itself...and quick like.
## go to www.contesting.com right now....and you will see that the entire
home page has been frozen
in time for 2 years. As is, there are better options out there.
