Do you know of another list where members here can go an post thing which interest them? If there is no such listserv, I can start a Yahoo Groups or a Google Groups listserv for users who wish to post off topic type comments. But before I create such a group, I wanted to check that I would not be duplicating a list which is all ready out there. Another list might easy the traffic on the BP listserv, which should be available to answer questions on the BP. When I don't know how to do something with my BP this list has been invaluable. As I say, I will be willing to start an alternative discussion listserv, since people appear to need a place where they can exchange ideas.

Several people on this list have expressed their wish to have this list continue as they find it helpful. It's not the questions that are causing the problem, it was simply the habits and behaviors that were developed. Questions are never a problem. I will say things have been much improved in the last few days. Under these circumstances, the list is much easier to deal with.

I suggest we take the load off of her and start another list for questions/comments that are not related to beta testing. The new list should have a 2 or 3 admins/moderators so that if one admin goes incognito, the others can step in and manage changes to the list. The list topics can be broad, encompassing newbie questions, mp3/wma conversion, NLS gripes, Harry Potter, or whatever everyone wants to talk about, etc. It will be a forum by users for users. Would anyone be willing to start one or be an admin? Any comments?
