Hi Barry
 Wouldn't real-time posting be an invitation to spam, etc?  I know it 
doesn't happen on 3830 but that is not a reflector where conversations 
go on. like on this one.  Mostly just score reporting.  Sometimes we 
really need a moderator. 73

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?
