[SEL] Remember the old days?

[Best, George]

Alan,

I miss the old days, or at least most of the old days ;-)

During our peak we where getting a lot more than 100 emails a day.  I
even dropped out a few times back then when the messages were getting
too frequent and I needed to get more work done.

I'm sure that SmokeStak is one of the reasons for the lower message
counts now. You see a lot of SEL members posting on SmokeStak, including
myself.

Part of it could be that mailing lists are pretty much old technology,
while dicussion forums on websites are current.  While we may like old
technology when it comes to engines, some may prefer current technology
for communicating.

I haven't been to the Portland show the past 6 years, so maybe someone
can answer this.

I know the SEL list always has a display area for list members and we
were also involved with the Thursday night dinner.

Does the SmokeStak group have a display area at Portland?

Just wondering for people that participate with both groups, which group
they choose to set up with at the show.

George

Hi Folks,


I was just thinking about when I joined this list.
I was amazed to get between 80 and 100 emails a day.
That probably was both the SEL and "Jim's list", but that was a lot of
emails.
I was on my WebTv then and it was hard to handle all that email.

What do you figure the difference is now?

My vote is SmokeStak.
