Remember when I suggested a new Regency-specific mailing list?
Well, I'm sure glad it DIDN'T come about.
As for seperate areas for TNE and pre-TNE Traveller, well...
The Pros:
- ---------
You might placate some of the people who ditched due to TNE, and some of
them might come back to participate.
The Cons:
- ---------
More administrative work for James -- keeping two lists, etc.
Possible reduction of the critical mass that has been achieved on TML.
Creates a little more hassle for those who like partaking in discussions
and swapping in all eras.
You can already discuss anything relating to Traveller on the TML, from any
era -- to diminish its subject matter for the aesthetic concerns of a
handful seems ludicrous.
The participation level of those who ditched wasn't that high anyways.
If TML is not regulated/restricted from CT/MT posts, TML'ers will go
right on posting such, to the loss of those who subscribe to the subject-
limited list exclusively.
- --------------------------------------------
Seems like a rather lopsided issue to me.
I prefer the general Traveller theme. It's much simpler -- you read the
messages you want to read. You keep the messages you want to keep.
Plus, I love bigger crowds -- 500 is a pretty big crowd!
