I would second some sort of move or consolidation. I prefer to view the
conversation via email. The slinkelist works fine but i don't see the bbs
msgs when i see the bbs replies - and needless to say, two different lists
doesn't make much sense.
Hey, don't miss that opportunity to be a home automation portal.

One possibility would be to move the list to an outside list provider. The
two I know of off hand are www.onelist.com <http://www.onelist.com> and
www.egroups.com <http://www.egroups.com>
I belong to lists on each of these services. The egroups list service is my
favourite. It can provide the list via email, you can view it on line, you
can get the list emnailed as a daily digest, you can set up databases,
store files, and run polls. I have no affiliation with this site, I just
think it is realatively well done.
For what it is worth,
Bill Reid

We've never been able to find a (non-commercial) combined BBS/mailing list
program. I agree that it would be nice to have it combined but without
spending a few thousand bucks I havent found any solutions. The mailing
list has archives available at:

Is it just me or is it silly to have to check both your email and the bbs
for messages. Additionally, I find it very useful to search through old
archives, yet the slinkelist messages are not archived and tend to have more
information. Could the lists be mirrored by any chance? This may seem
trivial, but it would save some time everyday to see all messages in one
place. (My vote is for the BBS, but I don't want to unsubscribe for fear of
missing good posts)
