(Walt Beaulieu) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 09:58:38 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: EZ-List: [PLEASE READ] - Why Do I Have A Fund Raiser Each Year? --> EZ-List message posted by: Matt Dralle Dear Listers, I was thinking that perhaps I should explain why I have a Fund Raiser and also take the opportunity to express why I think the List Services here provide a far better experience than 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 Toner Cartridge Refills 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 to encourage members to support the Lists. I believe that the Lists services that I provide here offer a great many benefits over the commercial equivalents in a number of ways. The first feature I believe to be particularly significant is that you *cannot* receive a computer v*rus from any of my Lists directly. I've been on a few other List servers and have been unfortunate enough to download infected files people have innocently or not-so-innocently included with their posts. This just can't happen with my Lists; each incoming message is filtered and attachments stripped off prior to posting. I 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. Also, with this photo and file sharing technique, the Archives don't get loaded up with a huge amounts of bitmap "data" that slows the Archive Search times. Another feature of this system 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 super fast Search Engine, the huge size of the Archives is a non-issue in quickly finding the data you're looking for. Another feature of the Archives, in my opinion, is that they have been primarily stripped of all the useless email header data and all the other header garbage that seems to build up in a typical email thread. I have received an extremely positive response from Listers regarding the List Browse feature and the consensus is that the format and ease of use is outstanding. Members report that having the previous 7 days worth of messages on line for easy browsing and sorting is hugely beneficial. And again, as with the real time distribution of List email, the messages are stripped of all the unnecessary email headers and potentially dangerous v*ruses. I've been running email Lists and services under the matronics.com domain since about 1989 starting with RV-List and 30 guys who I knew and who where also building RVs. It has grown into over 40 different aviation-related Email Lists and an associated web site that receives over 10,000,000 hits each year!! Additionally, the List email system forwards well over 90,000,000 (yes, that 90 MILLION) email messages to subscribers each year! With all the dot.bombs these days, 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 at a price that's nearly free. 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, or use the List Browser. 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! ----------------------------------------------- The SSL Secure Web Site: http://www.matronics.com/contribution ----------------------------------------------- Thank you, Matt Dralle Email List Administrator ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:25:10 AM PST US From: Walt Beaulieu Subject: Re: EZ-List: [PLEASE READ] - Why Do I Have A Fund Raiser Each Year? --> EZ-List message posted by: Walt Beaulieu Hey, dude, The Zenith and the RV groups are worth a contribution for your servers. But nobody posts squat on the EZ list.. Any idea why?? So we should contribute??? This is the 5th spam I got from you. Usually, there is SOME value to a person of SOME kind before he gets hit up. Sorry it's not working out.

From: Fred Weaver --> EZ-List message posted by: Fred Weaver Easy Walt..... I'm sure Matt's not sitting at a keyboard, writing this message to one list at a time. It probably gets written once and is transmitted to all the lists with the same keystroke. If you don't like reading his banter, just delete it or unsubscribe. The bottom line is...... The EZ mail list is setup and available for use. If everybody just stays on Canard Aviators, that's cool but you shouldn't be banging away on Matt for his "once a year" request for working capital.... the Archives of the all the lists is so totally worth the investment each year.... Now, go sign up and contribute $10 bucks.... then delete the rest of the banter.
