> > Bring the 7800 into the picture? > Well, there is the (sadly low-traffic) Maria list for that.. > http://www.freelists.org/list/atari7800 True, although the archives for that list don't contain attachments. (I do, however, have two complete archives of the list. One in OE and one on gmail.) It's simply low volume because it has few members and even fewer contributors. Perhaps when stella at atari2600.org gets fully established, we can move it over to maria at atari2600.org. Any online community (mailing list, Internet BB, newsgroup, etc.) is the sum of its members and what they chose to contribute. I've been a member of [stella] for several years (first post back in Oct 2001), and hang around AA as well. One of the things I like about [stella] is the high signal to noise ratio (well, except for this kind of meta discussion). Hopefully it will remain so after it moves to AA. And it needs to move, not because Russ & Biglist aren't doing their best to address people's concerns, but because people have lost confidence in the list's ability to provide it's two most important functions - forwarding everything to everybody & archiving it in a searchable form. I have to say that I prefer [stella] to AA because following AA seems to require more time, unfortunately. Perhaps it's just because it's a more vibrant, active & populous community. Maybe it's that S/N ratio, or simply the narrower focus of the topics. And I think that the focus of [stella] will naturally remain ASM instead of bB, but I hope the members will be just as helpful and tolerant of those bB programmers as they have been to any other newbie.
