[Squaredancing] Possible On Line Replacement for this list

[Charlie Smith]

FWIW, I was involved with a software mail list that went the same way, to a
web based arrangement. Traffic slowed dramatically, and the list almost
dissolved before someone found a way to put it back on a "direct-to-inbox"
basis. Never did recover to previous levels.
OTOH, traffic on this list is already extremely low.
Unless there is a compelling economic reason, I wouldn't change.

I understand your concern.

When you create a topic or reply to a topic, you can ask to be 
notified  by email when a reply is posted. There are also options 
that can be set so you can receive email notification when any topic 
is created or replied to.
