Re: [Killietalk] Technology: a suggestion

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

Stan,

we did that. It is the forums that are now on the AKA web site, that has a 
public forum for general killie discussion and members only forums for 
discussion of AKA "business". You can elect to read what threads you wish. 
Other forums, such as specific interest groups, etc., can be set up if 
people request them.

Only time will tell if you folks, the users, will make enough use of the 
forums to make them a viable alternative to killietalk, which, as you point 
out, is a gamish of many different topics, with threads poorly identified.

Incidentally, I don't agree with the identification of these discussions as 
being about technology. They are not. They are about communication.
