[-empyre-] empyre discussion

[Johannes Birringer]

Dear all
Sorry to not contribute to content at the moment, but I have to echo Jonathan, 
I think the issue was reported to the list managers a while ago, I think it began about a year ago,
that we no longer seem to have a functioning maillist of old but that messages don't show up in the
body of the mails we receive from empyre (they are text- attachments, and it is too time consuming to
go and open them up each time),  so I assume many have given up, as it is hard to follow a discussion that
way;  my second observation over the years is that the flow of dialogue is not easily sustained when
invited guests can post directly, while all others are blocked until their postings have been approved, which sometimes
happens quickly, sometimes not, and then after a day or so the discussion (between guests) has moved on.
That way, presumably, general  subscribers become less motivated to post anything? 
I remember asking for free/unmoderated access, as it is done on other listservs. 
Regards
Johannes

For what its worth, I hardly ever respond to Empyre discussions because about half of the messages come through as attachments - which means I continually lose the content and context of discussions... I don't seem to be able to do anything about it.

Hi Michael,

I didn't receive anything about submitting; is it possible to send this out again or is it already closed? I think there are a lot of people on this list who would be interested.

Thanks, Alan

(Footnote - does anyone know why it's impossible to quote from a message sent out? are people using attachments? is there an issue with the software? I'm looking forward to a lively discussion, but technicalities seem to get in the way - for example, I just read a post from Murat, but it disappears when I try to quote parts of it. Thanks -)
