A migration of the YDL lists to forums: 2004 08/03

[Gavin Hemphill]

Well after years of trying to contribute financially to TerraSoft I 
think this will be the last straw.  The BBS chosen is horrid, and forums 
have never been as useful as mailing lists. The Terrasoft team cant even 
find enough time to learn how to manage their linux boxes - I've 
complained about their self signed certificates for SIMAP and SPOP for 
almost a year now and they still haven't been fixed.  Being an enhanced 
user has so far bought me very little since they don't even answer mail 
to support@ydl.net.

I guess it will be a reluctant good bye.
