Since there are not a lot of posts this weekend, and I need something to do while waiting for primer to dry, I am going to see what you all think.



Does it still seem like a good ides to split the zenith lists?



It seems like there are only a few posts each day, and many are cross posting to all the groups anyway.  Since there is still good info in the 701/801 list it actually takes much longer to check each list every day.   Even using the digest, there are 3 (or 4 if you get them all) email covering largely the same topics.



Any comments?

Wait till you need to search the archives and have to check in three places.

I like it much better being able to separate airframes. But the cross posting is annoying for the same reason I like it. I do think that it should be structured as as sub lists under the main of Zenith though, it would make searching a just like it was and give you fellas a feeling of wholeness, I guess is the word I'm looking for.

It was a bad idea. I said so when it was asked for and I nothing has changed my mind.

All-

    I totally agree with you, Craig. Even prior to the split, the archives 

were never a way of getting information quickly. In addition, I never know 

if something got through or a reply wound up on another list.

I'm a CH701 guy and can't find the new split list for the 701's.  I went to 

matronics and there was no mention of a CH701 list separate from other 

Zenith aircraft.  Currently, I seem to just be receiving 601XL stuff. 

What's up with this spit list stuff??

Bob,



Try looking on   http://www.matronics.com/subscribe/   for Zenith701801.



I don't like having the Zenith family of airplanes split up and moved  

to separate addresses.  I frequently get several copies of the exact  

same message, one on each list.  Not anything I can't manage, but  

still an unnecessary nuisance.

Then let's all vote and ask Matt to undo the split if that is the will of the users.



I vote 1 list.

As I recall, the reason for the split was principally due to some of the 701ers finding some of the 601 traffic tough to take.  I doubt that those feelings have changed.  I personally liked the way it was before but I would classify the inconvenience associated with multiple lists to be minor and if it helps to enrich the lives of our 701 brothers and sisters, that’s great.  I don’t feel good about bothering Matt again with this.

     

    Cheers,

I would vote against, with all due respect to the previous postings. I'm a CH701 Builder and the relative "quiet" since the split has been delightful. I don't think we realize just how depressing it becomes as a builder to be subjected to the sometimes irrational rantings of faceless, unknown people that may mean well, but are unwilling or unable to control their emotions long enough for the factual data to explain what has happened. Again, all due respect, but I do not want ot be a part of that any more. I like it split. Thank you.

The Matronics subscription form is something only a computer programmer

could love (I'm a programmer). I think it is actually an IQ test to keep

dumb people off the lists but I'm still here. Go to the link below and

*carefully* follow the instructions. To see all the check-boxes for all the

lists you MUST "hover" the cursor over "Move Tool Up" or "Move Tool Dn" at

the top of the list of check-boxes. Since all the Zenith lists are at the

bottom of the list you won't see them unless you hover over "Up" (or you

have a very big monitor):

Randy, seeing as you are a 701 guy would you discuss this in that list and see if they will go along?



Tell them we will promise to try to keep the BS about the sky falling to a minimum.
