Re: [AGA SC] Another perspective on the AGA "Forum" proposal

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

If there were someone really willing to put in the time and effort to
maintain it, search out moderators, etc, I would support a trial run as
well.  I *would* like to have someone onboard (or at least onmanagement)  
who actually likes forums first, though.  was hoping some pro-forum DFW
folks, but seeing as their forums aren't doing well, gotta go elsewhere.  
Ghazanfar might be good, but not right now.  James H seems still very 
green to me.

The legal aspect is nasty, but theoretically the same as what we bear with
our mailing lists (as we've seen last week, prompting our new moderator).
