Re: [greenyes] Recycling Discussion Format

["Eric Lombardi" <eric@no.address>]

Hi Shaun and Sharon,

I'm very impressed by the format and structure of the biodiesel discussion
forum, but I have a question about tracking "new" postings.  Since much of
the value of the GreenYes format comes from reading postings about subjects
you've never even thought of before, how does that happen within the
biodiesel format?  Do you see every new posting, or just those that are
categorized in the subject area you want to go look into?  If a person wants
to track all the new postings every day, would they have to click into a
bunch of subject areas (like side rooms) off the main living room?   Has my
question been sufficiently confusing?  sorry...

Also, I think Shaun brings up a valid topic... can GreenYes be made better?
I am sure that the GRRN Board and staff would love to hear if others have
suggestions.
