Dear Listers,



Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving.  Many of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon us.



Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.  One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like, "Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".  That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists.  Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning to check my List email!!



Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for their continued operation and upgrade?



The List Contribution Site is:

Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: 



        Matt Dralle / Matronics

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration,

OK.  So I joined this seaplane list several months ago and haven't 

gotten a single post about seaplanes, yet I seem to get daily requests 

for money telling me I'm supposed to be giving money to keep this list 

going.  Am I missing something?

Helen,



If the only list you subscribe to is the seaplane, I understand your 

question. The seaplane list has, regrettably, almost no activity.



The requests go to all of the Matronics lists.  Many are very active and 

deserving of support by their subscribers.  My favorite is the 

aeroelectric list.



Hope this sheds some light on the requests.

I completely agree with Raymond, including my favorite being the

Aeroelectric list moderated by Bob Nuckolls. I subscribed to the original,

the RV list, back around 97 or 98 and have been contributing during the

annual fundraisers ever since, even though my RV-8 project is stalled and

money is really tight this year - and I haven't flown a floatplane for

several years. For your limited use, it's probably not worth contributing,

but I suggest you subscribe to a couple of other of the Matronics lists and

see if maybe you find it worth your while.

Thanks for the explanations.That does make sense. If you'll pardon 

another question though, why doesn't the host just move these over to 

the yahoo groups server which is totally free and provides some nice 

options like list digests, web based subscriptions, message archiving a 

search functions, etc?  I subscribe to a number of those and even 

moderate one and see no downside to using the free yahoo server.  To the 

contrary, to someone such as myself who may have a very occasional 

question to post about electronics or Rotax engines or such, the yahoo 

options make more sense than the straight list serve offered here.  ???

     I'm sure there are multiple other reasons but ones I like for 

keeping things here are:

1) No ads

2) No spam

3) No account creation required

4) Subscribing and unsubscribing is significantly easier

5) My email address and info doesn't get sold



     I'm also subscribed to some Yahoo groups, but do not like them as 

much as the lists here.

Matt sends those notices out to every member of every list on his server.

Occasionally I get posts form this list not nearly so often as Aerolectric

or Kitfox.
