Re: [GSAS-Member] Forums - please: no



A moderator doesn't just keep people under control, they also keep the forum
organized.  As an example, there now appear to be three different emails
going about this single topic.  A moderator on a forum would be able to
merge all three into one thread where it would be so much easier to keep
track of who said what, when.  (Yes, I am a moderator on a couple of fish
forums.)

I just find this format so difficult to follow.  I've been looking at the
GSAS site for several years now, hoping a regular forum would be there one
day:)  I'm sure I'll figure this out after awhile.  I get used to doing
things a certain way and when something new or different comes up, it takes
some adjustment. I do appreciate any way of being able to connect with
locals who are also interested in fishkeeping, so I'm not going to
complain...too much!
