bulb rant

I agree with David Pilling that a forum would require too much
volunteer effort for our small group to provide, especially if, like
the wiki, it admitted posts only by paying PBS members. Many people
do not realize that a large number of those who post to this list are
not paying members; this is an option offered on the website. PBS
currently has fewer than 400 paying members, whose dues allow them to
participate in the wiki and the BX.

If you want to post your photos so people on the list can see them
readily, one option is to join PBS and use our wiki, one of the most
frequently visited bulb photo sites on the web. If you join now, you
will be paid up through 2015.

I think it is a lot more trouble to participate in a forum, however
well it may be managed, than to delete uninteresting emails by
glancing at the subject lines in your mailbox and clicking the trash can.
