Malts-L

[Kraaijeveld A.R.]

Good to see several old friends crawl out of the woodwork again! And good to hear about Davin's plan to preserve the archives for 30th century historians really interested in that ancient brew called 'whisky' ...

As to the active part of the list, what are the options? And I now fully admit my ignorance in the possibilities, pros and cons of various types of internet list, fora, bb's, etc. 

If someone who knows more about this than I do could maybe post a few easily-implementable options, with pros and cons, we could see what the best options would be for us. Personally, the lo-tech character of the list, with new postings coming into my mailbox automatically, without me having to do anything extra, like visit a web-site, is a big pro for me. With my work, rattling off a quick reply to a post is quicker, and therefore more feasible, than having to visit a web-site again and again to see if something new has been posted. 

Any other thoughs/ideas on the way forward?

Slainte, 
Lex

P.E. And with this topic, the list has now seen more activity in a single day than at any other day in the last year or so (;o)

Wonderful Idea Davin!
hahahah, just to think of a sociologist in 2156 writing on the impact of
Maltwhisky on the society of "gourmets" in the late 20th century....using
the Malts-List as a basis of his research and wondering about us and our
topics :-)

Malts-Lsters,
Talking to my daughter who is studying communications at McGill I learned
that Canada is big on establishing digital archives so material just such as
this list is not lost.  It could be a gold mine for cultural historians,
present and future, since it really documents the development of the whisky
e-community from early days of the single malt boom.  I think our best bet
would be to find someone in academia who would be interested in preserving
this material for future use by sociologists, historians or whatever.  She
is contacting various of her profs for advice.  One of her fellow students
used just such a list as the basis for a book on cultural history.  Of
course to us it's whisky, but to academia it's history.  I'll keep you
posted. 
Davin
