3). Solve the problem: Set up an email account for iwethey.org as some have suggested for the purpose that Karsten proposed. I think Karsten has a valid idea. Still, it's probably best not to bother the vtluug.org list with such things.Its easier to remember and it eliminates the need to have 50-odd people get confirmation messages they don't want. As long as iwethey.org remains intact, that account remains active. Even Rick has stated he would have done it this way.
It is a technically superior solution in that...
1) Its easier for the users
2) Its standard addressing aligns with the web presence
3) Noone need see anything until Karsten has updated his resource list, at whcih point he can post once to the boards and once to the list to inform of any updates.
Karsten does alot for this community and I know he considered this another valuable resource...and all the noise was not about anything other than methodology.
I don't even pretend to understand the reaction. But I have been put in my place and will remain there until told otherwise.
