We have some constraints to keep in mind. 1) We are run by volunteers. Everything we do in supporting what we have is done without any compensation and so is for the most part fit in between "real work" and life in general for the people that do these things, particularly Bryan as the listmaster and Jim Lawerence as the Webmaster. 2) We don't have much available cash or income to support a lot of bandwidth and website hits. I personally like the current method of distribution. I don't really care if our solutions show up on search engines or not. Just my opinion. I use a seperate G-Mail e-mail account for listmail mail though too so I don't have the list mail "clogging up" my regular mail accounts. G-mail's grouping messages by subject into threads works fabulously for list mail such as ours various lists.
