>> I see the old-timer's board as a valuable way to touch base and catch up with people 'I knew back when...' and for people to drop in on if they want, and after that, it would be interesting to see how people used it.<<
I don't mind a board like that, but I don't really see the point. Like Zo, I think that's a perfect reason to create a group on yahoo. I mean, what ever happened to Greg's group? Couldn't that group be a reunion board? Maybe it could be "advertised" on PB so that everyone who checks into PB knows it's there.
>> Upon reflection, the old-timer board would not have to have a cut-off for time-on-board or posting birthday. It could be totally open and anyone who wanted to could post there; if newbies or mediumies posted there I guess people would wonder why.<<
That's sort of how I felt when I tried to "break in" to "the group" in July 2000. That people were wondering why ! I'm not sure that it's a good thing to initiate with that attitude, unless it's called a reunion board (not an oldtimer's board). I think maybe Mair already said this.
I worry a little about the diluting of PB into too many boards
