don't log out just close the window or go to another site when your done

I quit the CCM list for the Chainlink a while ago. It's a lot easier to ignore all the personal drama and flame wars this way. And any useful information (events, etc.) are a lot easier to track on this website. I do agree that it's inefficient to login to read a reply, though.

I think they mean that you get an email telling you somebody replied to something, but then you have to actually go to the site to see the reply, as opposed to having it right there in the email you just got.

Well beyond that a lot of people clear their cache. If you are a frequent cache clearer you cannot just visit the site and reply you'll have to authenticate first. Jomsocial has a plug that allows users to reply via email to the last post in the thread. But it's not perfect and is about as chaotic to follow as a list server but it does allow you to address the site in a mobile environment.

Easy Tony...I was simply implying that I don't see many others on here with such a great hatred of Ning due to the reasons Spencer describes. Didn't mean to 'speak' for you. Jeez

There are a lot of factors that have contributed to the decline of the CCM list (which oddly continues to grow in membership, having recently topped 600 for the first time).
Chainlink may be one of them, but it's not the largest factor.

I think it should also be noted that there really haven't been any active discussions about CM on the chainlink in a while either.

Wait, is this all because you couldn't get anyone to post specifics of the Marauder's ride for your personal convenience on Saturday? Or couldn't use the listserv to order up a special timeplan centered around Spencer's availability?
Can you possibly think of a reason the organizers wouldn't want the entire itinerary of their ride posted to a public listserve of 625 members, including law enforcement and such?

I do, almost every night (did I type that out loud?)
