This concerns me. I never surf the web. I only use email
and have never even visited Sneezy. It seems that putting
a bulletin board on a separate server will diffuse some
material away from Klarinet. Has it been so bad to have
postings about chats, instruments for sale, recitals, etc.
posted right here on Klarinet? None of these things
are off-topic, and more of our Klarinet people will
certainly see such postings on Klarinet than on Sneezy.
Klarinet is, essentially, a bulletin board in itself.
I fear that interesting postings and such might end up
on the Sneezy board and never make it to Klarinet, and
I'd hate to miss something interesting or useful. What
prompted the creation of a separate board?
