I'm still here too guys. Have a tall server rack full of MOTM and diy 5U as still love it. Never could get into the Euro thing. Both a black hole for $$$ and tinier of than I'd like (cramped when patched).

Secondly, I think a lot of the MOTM discussion has gone to Facebook as well as Muffwiggler.


How has this worked out for everyone?

In its prime this list had perhaps 100 active members (I may be wrong but that is what it felt like). There was a ∗very∗ high s/n ratio in the communication. Folks like J. Larry Hendry and Scott Juskew (and JH and JLR etc.) all kicked some serious butt with their contributions. It felt cozy.

I have a FB account I’ve used to sell gear with and I use to talk to Kent Spong and Larry Church. Besides that, its been left fallow. I just don’t have the discipline to not look (to see what new PCB etc./thing I could buy) so, I don’t use it. I guess I am missing out. Then again, the overconnection that the FB walled-garden promotes feels like death by a million mouse-clicks.

My question to the group:

Has the trade off of a bigger market for buy and sell along with group-buys etc. on MW been an improvement on the smaller group? A(n) d/evolution?
