Re: Recommendation for new format

["Todd Brautigam" <brautt@myapc.com>]

Personally, I prefer the current format... it may not be fancy, but it is trim and convenient. When I travel, I usually have already made arrangements for e-mail access, so Radsafe is still there. If I don't need e-mail, then I can certainly get along without Radsafe for a few days. Another item to consider is the time and effort that would be needed to move to a different format. It wouldn't necessarily be difficult, but it would still take resources that are not ours to allocate.

I'd like to poll the radsafers on their thoughts about interest in a new

look and feel to this popular list.  Listservers are OLD technology and

have many drawbacks (in my opinion) that are easily avoidable.  I'd like to

suggest that the sponsor for radsafe consider switching to a discussion

board format that is web-based.  For an example, see the discussion board

of my local bass fishing club (

http://fishonbassclub.com/FOBA/wwwboard/wwwboard.html).  I believe that

this would have the following advantages: you can following the board even

when on travel or at home since it's not tied to a particular email

address; no subscribing or unsubscribing;  you don't get inundated with

hugh amounts of email or long digests that are hard to follow; threads are

self organized so you can easily pick and choose which ones to follow (or

not); most disscussion board software allow for inclusion of html code to

allow for hotlinks and even pictures. I would prefer this format and

wondered how you would feel?
