Re: [Chrysler300] Question re interactive format

Again, I really appreciate the effort being done by volunteers of our club to provide this service. My car is muchbetter for it and so am I.

I am all for doing whatever is the easiest for those volunteers. It’s not about the format. It’s about the cars and the members.

Hi Hugh,

You can always go to our website www.chrysler300club.com for all our classified, tech tips and all manner of information. Classified is updated continually.

You can also follow the links found at the bottom of each listserver email you receive including this one for more instructions. Our archives are excellent and can be searched for topics.

For further information on how to limit the chatter, just ask our listserver guy, Bob Merritt. He can (and cheerfully does) answer all your questions. bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Good luck and welcome to the club.

Gloria Moon

Subject: [Chrysler300] Question re interactive format

Hi there,
Relative newbie here, just picked up my 300K last year. I have participated in the past in other groups/forums on interactive server bulletin boards, such as for Alfa Romeo (http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/ ), C-Bodies Only (http://www.forcbodiesonly.com/ ) and Miata (http://forum.miata.net/vb/).
Having become accustomed to such, I find the “List Server” approach to be unwieldy. Having dozens of emails a week, a few pertaining to my interests but many more not, becomes burdensome to me. Has anyone from the group examined what it would take to transform the interface to one like the examples given? Please don’t misunderstand my intent, I love the depth of knowledge and insight that is available, but would like to go to a site and pursue the subjects of my choosing, rather than be force-fed a bulky mass of emails every day.
I also think it would be a great way to selectively “subscribe” to conversations that are of interest without broadcasting to those who do not wish to see that traffic. If it requires an initial investment, I would be willing to participate in an assessment to get it off of the ground.
There could be tabs for pictures of our cars, classifieds, contact information, event updates, vendor links, etc., which I think would concentrate and enliven our interaction.
Thoughts? Thanks for your attention-
