Dear Listers,
Each year I like to explain why I have a Fund Raiser and also take the
opportunity to express why I think the List Services here provide a superior
experience over the commercial equivalents.
I use the List Fund Raiser each year to offset the costs involved with
running a high performance email list site such as this one. With the
annual support from the List members through the PBS-like Fund Raiser, I
have found I can run the entire site without having to inflect any of the
members with those annoying banner ads flashing up all the time trying to
sell little-blue-pills or other garbage nobody wants or needs. From the
comments I've received over the years regarding the Lists, the great
majority of the members really appreciate the non-commercialism of my List
systems and don't mind my 'go-team-go' banter once a year during November to
encourage members to support the Lists.
I believe that the Lists services that I provide here offer many benefits
over the commercial equivalents in a number of ways. The first feature I
believe to be significant is that you cannot receive a computer v*rus from
any of these Lists directly. Each incoming message is filtered and
dangerous attachments stripped off prior to posting. I also provide a Photo
and File Share feature that allows members to share files and bitmaps with
other members and everyone can be assured that these files will be
prescanned for any sort of v*rus before they are posted. Safe and simple.
Another very important feature of this system in my opinion is the extensive
List Archives that are available for download, browsing, and searching. The
Archives go all the way back to the very beginning of each List and with the
very fast Search Engine, the huge size of some of the Archives is a
non-issue in quickly finding the data you're looking for.
And added just this year is the new Email List Forum that allows members who
prefer the Web BBS-style of List interaction. The beauty of the new List
Forums is that they contain the exact same content that is distributed via
email. Messages posted via email are cross-posted to the respective Forum
and vice versa. The Forums also allow for another convenient method of
sharing pictures and other files. Additionally added this year is the new
List Wiki that allows members to build their own "Online List Encyclopedia"
of sorts, documenting various aspects of their project for all to share.
I've been running email Lists and services under the matronics.com domain
since about 1989 starting with RV-List and 30 guys I knew and who where also
building RVs. It has grown into nearly 70 different aviation-related Email
Lists and an associated web site that receives over 23,000,000 hits each
year!! Additionally, the List Email system forwarded well over 87,000
postings last year, accounting for an unbelievable 39,000,000 (yes, that's
39 MILLION) email messages delivered to Matronics List subscribers! I think
there's a lot of value in supporting a service that has gone the long haul
and is still providing and improving a high quality service all _without any
advertising budget_!
I have to admit running these Lists is a labor of love and I hope it shows
in the quality of the experience that you receive when you get a List Email
Message, Search the Archives, use the List Browser, or surf the Forums and
Wiki sites. The Lists will be here for a long time to come. If you just
want to lurk a while for free, that's great and I encourage you to do so.
If you use, appreciate, and receive value from these Lists, then please
support them during the Annual List Fund Raiser!
