Have you considered using the gmcnet. It's a daily email network that is sometimes easier to follow than the forum. It's a mirror image of the forum but in email format. Some of the guys used a different email address to keep from overloading their home or business address.

I have a question for you nut I'll send it off-line.

Just a thought...

I am trying to catch up with all the e-mails flying by on the efi stuff, wow.  Is all that info on the forum somewhere where i can read a bit of the history?  Im having a bit of trouble adjusting to this forum style, its different than what im used to and my wife tells me i dont handle change very well...

I tried changing some preferances, we will see if that helps.

I think he's referring to the EFI forum on Google groups.

I find the Google groups forum layout difficult as well and use the emails while here I only use the Forum.

AND
if you use gmail. they will store all of your email for you, so you can
search the mail at your leisure, on their machine.

That's funny. :-)

I find the GMC Forum hopelessly confusing, but the Google Groups preferable
even to the emails I've used forever. The threading on the Google Groups
is, to me, much more consistently correct and easily followed, and the
automatic hiding of quoted text an enormous help since we can't maintain
editing discipline on GMCNet.

Sad thing is that the reason for most of the confusion of the web based forum is due to the interface with the email list. It does a pretty good job considering what it (the software) has to deal with.

If we only had one way of accessing the "GMCnet" regardless of the method, it would be more consistent... we would just loose a few contributers that do not want to change. (For one reason or another.)

I vote for the wider "net" that may get tangled from time to time. (ie; keep it the way it is.) But any new list should only have one method of access.

Mike,

I've now got everything feeding into GMail, so I get the benefits of GMCNet
email list and the threading of GMail. With GMail's beta off-line version,
I even have some off-line reading capability, though not complete since only
the last 100 or so emails are downloaded. This truly makes the Forum
redundant for me since I can always go online with GMail, just like the
Forum.

I am accessing thru the gmcnet "forum" its what im used to i just cant find the "threads" of discussion there that match the e-mails coming in on the efi stuff. I can be retrained but it does take a little while. Never been exposed to the google groops e-mail or gmail systems before so i guess im scrambling to make sence of it.

Is all the stuff in the e-mails poseted somewhere together where i acn read it in order and make more sence of it or does it just go out to everyone as the comments are made? Since i operate from 3 different locations and computers its difficult co keep the e-mail together and make sence of it all.

Very interesting reading though, just really scambling to put it all together in my mind.

Yes, you can subscribe to the "Forum" or digest. That is what a lot of us do who get overwhelmed bu the sheer volume of emails..

Sean,

You won't find the GMCMH-EFI messages on the Forum. GMCMH-EFI is an
entirely independent web or email accessed group; its only connection with
GMCNet or the Forum is the fact that almost all members of GMCMH-EFI are
also members of GMCNet and/or the Forum.

If you want to access the GMCMH-EFI archives, you'll have to log into <
http://groups.google.com/group/gmcmh-efi>.

You're already subscribed as a member there in case you want to post.
