Months ago I noted as did other readers that Timeslips (Sage) closed
their web-board.

Many software companies sponsor such boards. Microsoft, Corel
(obviously), Abobe, Amicus, HP, and others, and I find such board very
useful and informative. I'd be interested in learning why Sage shut
down the Timeslips board. Frankly, when deciding to upgrade to Ver 11,
I relied on there being such a board for informal support.

Is there any interest in starting an informal Timeslips group, e.g., in
yahoogroups?

I spoke with Sage support yesterday, and was told that Sage
unequivocally plans no revival of its Web-Board. The person blamed
users for posting obscenities and other nasty comments.

Please contact me privately about this.

Thanks.

It's too bad they were incapable of figuring out how to use
commonly-available moderation tools or bots to remove such msgs.

However, as you know, Corel went to moderated groups & users complained
about *that*, but otherwise there is little way to keep discourse civil.

Please contact me if it makes sense to create a Usenet group -- if there
isn't one already -- but there must be a significant group of committed
users *first* who are willing to post/respond on it. It is not that
complicated to create a newsgroup, however.
