My last message had, indeed, a message when it left my server and, likely, when it went through the moderator, but somehow ended up blank after that. Sooooooo, I'm re-sending a modified message ONCE and if this one is blank there's nothing I can do about it. My last message was that I throught it time that the Highland Park listserv be either replaced by, or supplemented by, a forum software package where messages could be separated by subject and would be available to new arrivals, or new participants. I also think that forums would increase participation as not everyone wants to send e-mail to the listserv for 100% distribution, nor would all participants want to receive e-mail on every subject from every participant. One of my favorite forum software packages is vBulletin from Jelsoft ( http://www.vbulletin.com/ ). There is a charge - $165 for a perpetual license and support for one year, and $30 per year thereafter for updates and service. This is pretty cheap for the capabilities it makes available. The issues then, are: (1) does this move have any support among the Highland Park citizenry; (2) who would pay for it and how (how is the present listserv paid for?); and does this require any changes in the server presently used for the listserv, and, if so, would there be a cost involved. Perhaps the moderator or whom ever is involved in maintaining the listserv has some input on this subject. - Jim
