Mark and all, I would be happy to start a new list on Yahoo. I've had lots of experience with yahoo mail lists and could moderate a list like this.

Allen,
If the mood of the membership is to switch to a different mailing list format, I think we'd be better served to start a new group. I took a look at the one you suggested and it hasn't had a post since April. Folks moving from KT to that group would probably overwhelm it.

There is a lot to like about KillieTalk, particularly it's ease of access and use. At the same time, I have often considered unsubscribing because so little of the content concerns keeping killies. There has been just enough of the latter to keep me on the list. For this I wish to thank Scott Davis, Wright Huntley, and a few others who I am forgetting and wish to apologize.
The big question to ask is whether the AKA should continue sponsor KillieTalk? If KillieTalk is considered to be detrimental to the AKA, due to the nature of the postings, and turns off potential more new members (as well as current AKA members) than it attracts, I believe the AKA should discontinue KillieTalk. It appears the BOT has already decided upon that course of action.
The next question, then, is what options are there besides using the forums on the AKA website? One obvious choice would be to set up another email list. Some of the old-timers will remember that back in the 1970s, there were two killie email lists to which you could subscribe - KillieTalk and another list whose name I forget. Both were similar in content, at least for a while. The second list died an inglorious death largely because of it lost it's focus and became a gripe site which turned off subscribers including me. That said, we certainly have some people on KillieTalk capable of creating a new email list, if they wanted. Any volunteers?
Besides setting up a new email list, there is another existing option. You could join killifish at yahoogroups_com. This group sends postings to your email like KillieTalk. This group is currently NOT a very active and I do not know Will Griffin who manages it. Still, if you're looking for an alternative to KillieTalk, this could be it, especially if enough people switched over.
Since we do not know when the plug is going to be pulled on KillieTalk, I might be beneficial to discuss and consider the above options. Flame shields up!
