What keeps it going?

[Timothy Bonney]

It has been a long time since I logged into Ecunet. Is there a cost to this google groups setup? How does Ecunet maintain it’s existence?

No charge. Ecunet is part now of Google, which has its own business plan. I think they mostly ignore us, but I wouldn’t put a lot of money on it.

So Google isn’t charging for it? That’s a little surprising. But, I’m not going to argue with it. :-)

I"m surprised, Ecunet is indeed a Google Group.  Took a brief look, may look deeper later this week.

I already knew we had moved to Google some years ago but I just figured we had to pay something.

The Iowa Annual Conference UMC uses Google apps and gives each clergy person a conference email address through Google and I know that there is a cost to that.

It’s considered a non-profit - subsidiary, perhaps?

I have not used the groups much as there has been very little traffic, but this is my primary email address for anything outside of my congregation - works great!

I think it is paid the way Google pays for everything, by gathering
intelligence on what you like and then selling you ads.

It is interesting that we've lived in the shadows here for so long and
many are still connected.

[George Conklin]

Ah, walking down nostalgia lane. We had an
amazing time - near the forward edge of
hardware, theology and ministry - and I
treasure your voices and images which come to mind as I read the text.

I wonder about a nostalgia group site. I just
about never throw image files away, and still
have cartons of Kodachromes from way back. Years
ago I bought a Nikon Coolscan 5000, with a stack
loader. On quiet days I throw another 50 in the loader and say GO.

Curious thing, the Nikon only does negative and
positive color gracefully. Their engenieers must have had a B&W phobia.

Local camera club suggested VueScan software. It
makes the olde Nikon a delight to use. Awesome resolution available.

Is anyone out there? Am I alone here? I don’t think I need to start a conversation, just wondering who all is still here…

God bless you Virginia! Nice to see a familiar name!

I’m in Lakeport CA serving a federated Disciples, PCUSA, UMC parish.

Be well, David

[George Huggins]

Wow.  Yeah, good to know…

And “presbynet.org” just isn’t quite the same as “PCUSA.org”.  It was a great brand.  I was often asked what PCUSA was.  Now, people have a tough time spelling “presbynet”

See ya ‘round the Kingdom!

I’m still here, retired but in my ninth year of serving on the Board of Directors of Luther Seminary.  I’m flying there as I type this.  These are really challenging but creative days for a mainline seminary.  The leadership team, deans and vice presidents, now include Episcopal, American Baptist, and United Methodist folks and the faculty includes PCUSA and Roman Catholic folks as well.  Our Coptic nun teaching early church history has retired.  

Luther has over twice as many people using our online resources as there are members in our ELCA.  Working Preacher and Enter the Bible, Faith Lead, take a look if you haven’t before.

Ecunet was a trail blazing bit of communication. When it was named  it reflected the dream of many in an emerging communicators

I'm here, as well. Not much activity any more. I retired from the pastorate six years ago, but continue to work for the Federal government even though I will turn 75 the end of this month.
