   Larry, I've tried the new forum also and don't see anything wrong with
   the tool.  I'm sure with some care and feeding it could be great like
   the PI forum, once populated with great content and activity.
   Personally, I prefer the bulletin board type forum like PI or now the
   POCO forum over the email list. Easier to organize and find
   information.  This email stream is like sitting at a big table with a
   lot of your friends having several conversations at once about
   different stuff. You'll miss something sometimes, and have no idea how
   to search the years of history to find stuff.
   Having said that I gotta remember as SOBill says "the main thing is to
   keep the main thing the main thing". For me, the main thing is new and
   old friends with a common interest in great cars.  So wherever I find
   those great people, I will go and adapt to whatever tool they prefer.

     It is much like the PI forum, but not nearly as intuitive or easy to
     use. Smart phone use is quite trying.

     What I noticed today though was the volume of that new site versus
     the volume of this resurrected email list.

     I think I'm being conservative to say the posts here outnumber the
     POCA forum by at least 10 to 1.

     Not sure what that means, but it must mean something..........

     Just saying.  ;-)
