In fact 7 years ago I started the Technics forum that is here in the Synthzone by using email only as that was all I had at that time. That was back when the UK Forum was treating us like second class citizens and we soon vacated their forum.

Hi BEBOP
When treated like second class of course people invent their own ways to communicate. But that is not how we (the Roland-arranger community) are treated today, right? So no need for en e-mail list, if you ask me...
I have the deepest respect for your choice in wanting to communicate via closed e-mail lists and I wish you the best of luck in doing that.
I can tell you that I started communicating with other G-70 users back in December 2004 via an e-mail list, so I have tried this approach in knowledge sharing.
My experience is, however, that an open forum leads to a greater success, so I will personal go for that way of communicating (
www.roland-arranger.com)
At roland-arranger.com we also share info, styles, songs, registrations, user sets, MP3's, videos etc. etc. Everything for free and of common benefit of ALL the users in the global community. So I don't think that a closed email list will provide me with stuff that I don't already have - on the contrary, a closed email list will prevent someone from acquire new skills and new files. I am not a big fan of such a strategy...
