Start a forum format?   Is it that hard?

Unfortunately, the pct-l powers that be viewed it as something akin to
copyright infringement, as they've recently added a "no duplication"
tag to all emails.

Postholer.com receives far, far more daily unique visitors than the
pct-l has subscribers. The forum was an excellent way of keeping a
larger PCT audience informed, while growing the pct-l itself.
Obviously, keeping folks informed is not the primary concern of the
pct-l.

I have no reservations about giving them exactly what they want.

After reading Postholer's comment above about how much more popular
his site is than PCT-L, I wonder why he even bothers promoting his
wonderful-best-ever maps (or his trail journals, or anything else)
here, when he could just promote them on his wonderful-best-ever
website.

I won't kick Scott off PCT-L for disagreeing with me, like he kicked
Ned of postholer.com, but I stand amazed at his attitude and
arrogance. He is welcome to participate, as long as he is polite.

Oh, and FWIW, publishing PCT-L content on postholer.com without
permission, or even asking first, was not "something akin to copyright
infringement." It WAS clearly copyright infringement. Obviously,
providing content for postholer.com is not the primary concern of
PCT-L. At least I don't have to get around to writing the DCMA
complaint letter, what a relief..... :-)

I guess it takes all kinds.

Have a great day everyone.
