<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I agree with Annette Compton. I want the best
of both. Commenting directly on the painting would be so much easier and
faster than going back on forth between the emails with my comments and
others and the website with the painting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But I also want the email list to remain.
When I have the time or if a subject of discussion is interesting than I just
take a few minutes to respond. But to think and go every day to the
website would probably mean that I would participate less.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thank you Raymond for coming up will all these
great ideas and suggestions !</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm with Pat—I like the idea of the redesign, but I do prefer
the medium of email. I find it blends into my day. If I had to log on to the
site to communicate and that were the only means, I would probably not do that
very often.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Though there are enjoyments with Facebook, mostly it feels like a
"time-sucker." If Aquanet becomes a site based on that model without the
emails to the list, I probably would visit infrequently at best and fade into
the background quickly. That's news as I see it right now.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>However, I LOVE the idea of commenting directly on the page of the
gallery—that's a brilliant idea. It would be like a group of us all going to a
gallery together and standing around chatting about the work. Excellent
thought, Raymond! </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Can you add that feature but maintain our "list" discussions as well or
does that defeat the purpose of your redesign?</DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Hi all</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>I
am planning out a fairly major overhaul to the aquanet website<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>and this list and want some
feedback on a plan - I am thinking of<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>adding comments and some variety
of chats to the galleries and next to<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>the critique on the home page.
This would allow people to log into the<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>site and then enter and view
comments right there on the page, rather<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>than use the separate medium of
email.<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>I would keep the
list around<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>but much of its
current use would be [I feel better] replaced by this.</DIV>

replying)</DIV>
