Mount Pleasant DC Forum

[Rebecca Shannon]

For those of you who don't know, there is a Mt. Pleasant Listserv at [email address removed - log in to view].

Please join to reinvigorate the public discussion here in the neighborhood and press your ANC representatives to post more of the activities of that group (with a link, perhaps to minutes, agendas at other sites) to the Yahoo listserv.

The advantage? The information comes to you--you don't have to dig in several other locations to find it; it will help to better inform the community; and it will encourage comment on what is happening in our neighborhood before, rather than after, events take place.

I've been aware of the yahoo group for as long as this forum but I find the yahoo group not as user friendly. Unlike this forum, the yahoo topic threads are not grouped in easy to use groups and subheadings. Also, there seems to be a lot of information fed through the yahoo board that has nothing to do with Mt P - such as the two recent topics "GA Ave Holiday Party" and "REMINDER: 6th Annual Upshur Street Handmade Art & Craft Fair"

The forum allows users to subscribe to the topics that interest them. In that way, I am able to control the volume of messages fwd'd to my email. I'm not saying it's a perfect system but, personally, I find it much more user friendly than the yahoo group. And, if I am interested in browsing for information about PSA or ANC meetings, that information also is readily available in the forum.
