I say sadly as I am worried that the archive of that forum may not remain online as an archive for the educational purposes that the site is.
I was a follower and a reader of that forum so much more than a participant. When i first encountered it, i was amazed at the quality and quantity of material presented and discussed. I have been totally in respect for the effort made to present this quality material for the education of many.
I just hope that those here and on other forums continue in the great spirit of this investigation and are mindful of the mistakes which have caused so much stress and strife.
I just hope that John Simkin respects that wonderful contribution to the history of the subject he has achieved and it remains for reference as part of that Education Forum.
May this and other forums remain forever, as they are absolutely vital to the investigation.
I share your hopes Jerry that the posts there are left intact as a historical reference for every one to access. Though history there does not bode well. John had a habit of periodically deleting pictures because in his opinion they took up too much bandwidth. Plus several thousand of Peter Lemkin's posts were deleted along with his membership under very unjust circumstances. EF members might be able to use a downloading tool such as this: http://www.httrack.com/ which is free and easy to use.
We certainly plan on being here for the long haul. And we have noted the mistakes of other forums and are seeking to learn from them as well as our own past mistakes. We have tightened up our moderation procedures to make it a better place for members to interact and explore ideas and research. We welcome diversity but do not provide a home for lone nuttery or bad intent. The vast majority of EF members would be very welcome here.
