One thing I forgot regarding Internet discussions. What's holding you back from creating a Yahoo or Google group and promote it so that people can actually join and start the conversation?

One thing that would help the satellite hobby is a more modern use of the internet for discussions. I searched for an Amsat yahoo group and could not find anything. Some sort of threaded discussion system with actual search capability like the yahoo groups would be much more useful than the current 'old school' listserv. Unfortunately the few people who read this will think I am nuts and that the current system works great - "for them". That is always the situation when something is in decline - the few remaining folks like things just fine the way they are.

P.S. the spell checker on my email system picked the word "transverters" as misspelled. It suggested "transvestites" as a possible correct spelling. I guess I am truly a dinosaur. _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
