[ RadSafe ] Anyone want to take over the list

Tue Aug 19 14:03:18 CDT 2014

I was going to resist chiming in here BUT ...

Having been with RADSAFE since day 1 as a BBS - I like it and I also 
enjoy the diversions which are most usually technical in nature and 
illuminating of the personalities of the posters.  When they are not AND 
don't interest me - I can always skip to the next message (I never 
delete a RADSAFE message and have them ALL archived since listserver 
days began - thought I had the BBS ones too - but can't find them).

I never thought of it as a source that was REQUIRED to provide free 
professional consultation (don't the CHPs have some sort of resource to 
serve that purpose) and have always appreciated the help kindly and 
freely given when solicited.  I see it as more of a community than a 
resource and feel as if I have almost gotten to know many people whom I 
have never met.

The moderation has been light handed and therefore GREAT and very 
appreciated - ESPECIALLY considering these legal trials and tribulations 
they have had to put up with and which we have never known about until 
just now!  I can't imagine how hard it must be to convince an 
organization to continue to host it!

I don't understand "it¹s the issue with the other individuals and their 
systems".

I am consulting a friend who is VERY expert in the web and listservers 
so see if he can offer a solution to this obnoxious new protocol.  
Hopefully we find some way to keep it all working.
