Ferrari Mailing List: Re: OFF TOPIC !!! - RE: Official Rifle Cartridge of theFerrari List

>Is it something that 7-10 years ago , F list membership meant 50-100 emails
a day, and now it's what...3-5? There's probably a reason for that.

=============

Primarily, because FChat did not exist back then.  And now that it does, for
the hundreds - yes, hundreds - of otherwise quiet lurkers who subscribed to
this list for Ferrari content, but instead have to wade through voluminous
off topic posts, it's much easier to just unsubscribe and join FChat and get
all of the Ferrari-related content they want.

Email lists like this one can thrive only if we continually add new members.
Do you really think that someone just joining now and seeing how much of
list volume is dedicated to "insiders" and their personal references and
off-topic posts will decide to stick around?

Fellippe, you're right, there is a little "community" here, but while that
community may be great for those of us that are active in it, it is DRIVING
AWAY those who are here for FERRARI related content.

BTW, another lister pointed out to me (I missed it entirely) that your
original post was made likely tongue-in-cheek due to the "308" in the
caliber measurement.  While we can appreciate your tangential reference in
an attempt to liven up a moribund winter list day, you have to know that it
will stir up the usual folks in posting about cartridges and rifles and guns
etc. etc. etc. etc.

>I'm all up good ferrari content, but its harder to come by. I think good
car comparison talk would be a good direction.

Agreed!  So let's talk about the Scuderia v GT-R.  Heck, let's talk about
the new M3, or the IS-F, or the new Jag.  The DBS v the 599?  Helio winning
on DWTS?  Debut of the COTY?  Alonso sitting out for the year?  The entry of
the GT-R into racing next year, possibly against the 430GT?  The new GT2 on
the 'ring, compared to the Scuderia?  Resale values on the 360CS?  

If you're really looking to stir the pot, there are a LOT of topics you can
pick.  

vty,
