Dave -
I seem to remember your doing some survey/research work awhile back, and I
think the results may have been published in last year's annual report,
which I have misplaced. Can you tell me about what percentage (just a
ballpark estimate is fine) of CBQ List members also belong to BRHS, and
vice versa?
Behind my question is a certain discomfort with this plan to create a
second list as a BRHS forum (for Society members only and devoted only to
Society business), with all nuts & bolts (spikes and fishplates?)
discussions of history, operations, modeling, &c. confined to this list.
First, it seems to me that the topics of some postings may pertain to
Society business but also be of broader interest. I wonder if it is
desirable or even possible to force them into one category or another.
Second, this list provides a gateway to membership in BRHS. If discussions
of such things as calendars, Bulletins & meets are excluded, I worry that
many newcomers to this list will never know what they're missing and will
be less likely to join the Society.
No doubt the Board thought through the implications of this restructuring
and has good reasons for doing it, but these concerns still nag at me.
