Don and Darrel asked me to set up a new Kitfox-List here and I suspect that they will be officially announcing the home for the Kitfox-List shortly. Regarding the List trailer at the end of the each posting, you'll note that I've trimmed it back a bit starting with this message, removing the top section about the List Fund Raiser going on this month. Since the Kitfox-List here is brand new, I'll give everyone a full year to use and enjoy the Lists before I ask for operational support contributions. :-) As far as the other parts of the trailer, these are highly recommend. Even with the trailer that shows all of the available web features on the List, I still get email asking "how do I search the archive?", "how do I unsubscribe?" The trailer is a constant reminder of all the various utilities available to List Subscriber. I just counted the characters in the trailer, and came up with 1396. With 53k modem transfer rate, the trailer will only add .21 of a second download to any given email message. The trailer is stripped before the message is added to the Log file. At any rate, WELCOME to the new home of the Kitfox-List! I work very hard at providing a top-notch, high-performance service that is advertisement, popup, spam, and virus free. There are a myriad of other email lists available on the Matronics systems and you can subscribe to any or all of them. The URL for the subscription page is: http://www.matronics.com/subscribe I'm looking forward to all the new Kitfox discussions!! Enjoy.

It is up to Matt Drall and he won't. I suggested that he put a single link only for all the stuff but the response is, people continue to ask stupid questions like, how do I sign up/off? Or how do I search the archives. It just gets too tiring to answer the same questions over and over so he has elected to put those answers on every e-mail. Because of the giant size this adds, I will no longer keep archives. The good thing is that Matt's archives are wonderful and he provides nice web based searching tools. He also filters out html tags and reminds people of proper posting like fixing the subject and not doing excessive quoting and skipping messages aimed at a single person. All these things really increase the quality and usefulness of the list. -- PAF Consulting Engineers | 427 - 140th Ave NE (425)641-8202 voice | Bellevue, WA 98005 (425)641-1773 fax | GnuPG Public Key -
