Digital BW, The Print

It is totally up to yahoogroups.com unlike the 'old' maillists that proliferated in the net.  To most of us, a forum (and we probably are splitting hairs) is one that is totally net based---no maillist.  This is really a maillist with 'sort of like' forum, but I bet few visit there to read and rely on the posts to keep up with the group.  


I believe there is a FAQ that will explain how to join, post, etc.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Will this forum ever get streamlined?



  Well I'll be damned! I finally got something I wrote posted on this 
  site, and even got a reply! 

  Mincing words, aren't you Peter? You're saying this isn't a "forum?" 
  Well, now, here we really do have a failure to communicate because 
  you are mixing red herrings into this.  (Say, do you work for the 
  government?) Of course it is a forum and you can look it up. "Forum: 
  public meeting place for open discussion."  This site is open to 
  anyone who wants to read it, is it not? Anyone can join the group, 
  right? Spare me the lame hair-splitting.

  The fact remains this site has been poorly planned. It suffers from 
  having no intuitive common sense. Your statement about it really 
  being a "mailing list" is meaningless. I've participated in 
  enough "forums" to recognize when one is disfunctional because of 
  redundant rules. Please don't twist my displeasure into a criticism 
  of the people in the group because it has nothing to do with them.  

  All I am asking for are clear and simple directions on how to join 
  and participate in the group, without having to wade through a lot 
  of horseshipping artifacts! (Jesus, this is my third attempt to post 
  a reply and I still am not certain how I accomplished it.) No one 
  should have to go to another site just to learn how to post replies 
  in the first place. 


  With luck maybe whoever runs this forum will get the message and 
  realize maybe...just maybe, my complaints warrant attention and some 
  much needed streamlining are in order. (Or, maybe not.)

  And, like Forrest Gump, that's all I am going to say about that!
