It may have gotten a weak response back then, but now with over 100 Sinclair-
related people on your broadcast list, maybe it'll work. Especially if you
encourage them to put replies of a special interest on that, rather that
cluttering up everyone else's mailbox with topics that don't concern them.
Maybe someone needs to be a moderator. If something is of general interest,
the moderator can make the decision to broadcast it to the entire list. We
just have to find someone who's willing to do the work.
Andrea, Bill,
I'm not sure if what the two of you are referring to is the
guest book at http://kingcrest.com/sinclair/guestbook.cfm or
not. That is as close to a Sinclair BB that I know about.

it to say it didn't receive an overwhelming response! That was
the type of set up where someone posts a Topic and any others
can then post Replies under that Topic or start new Topics of
their own.
