Kinda makes one long for "the good old days" :-).

Yes the good old days. Like when the sherrif was riding high in town, or
when we had UPS powered bass fishing boats floating up and down the Eskimo
river. All joking aside, this list has served its purpose very well over the
past 5+ years while I have been a member. I have seen the good, the bad and
the ugly, but all in all the list still runs quite well in spite of all this
and there are those nuggets of goodness every once in a while that make
participating in this forum very worthwhile.
In reference to comments made by Riccardo Rondo:
-------------
b) we start a website VERY SIMPLE, after we name a president and charging us
(the members) a small fee to post in a organized way all out thoughts,
ideas, notes, code, etc. In the future companies in the business could be
interested in covering our management cost so to stop us to pay the
maintenence fees. Plus this would cut out (in a way) all those people just
interested in creating mess and fuss about systems, traders, vendors and
Omega (this last idea is simply a possibility that I outline but in NO way I
mean any kind of censorship at all - net is free so we are).
--------------
I have been a part of several other lists, and I can tell you that the thing
that will make a list self-destruct the fastest is a limitation on
membership, requirements to post and getting caught up in list rules and
procedures. I have seen well-meaning individuals post similar comments to
the one above over the last several years and we remain here and the list
continues to thrive in spite of it all. I have messages going back to 1996
for the omega list. But I can assure you that I don't keep an archive that
goes back this far for the other lists that I belong to because of quality
of content as well as compactness of message size (because of the plain text
format of omega-list).
Long Live the Status Quo!
