As I said to Dave in an email, I agree with his explanation to Bob regarding the forum. He and others probably were unaware it has existed for several years.
As suspected, there are those members who like the listserver, but they may not realize that others have actually avoided joining the registry because of it. I for one held off on joining for fear of endless emails filling up my box. While I accept it now, others have undoubtedly never joined because of it.
Personally I think he made a wise choice in keeping the listserver around for the time being because of the memberships requests. However, I would suggest we continue to try and make everyone aware of the forum so they will participate on it more frequently.
