I understand your opinion but I am a big sceptic about that. The problem
of mailing lists in general is that they get quickly unreadable if there
are too much postings. So I think the reglementation to AT only topics
makes sense, because they are interesting only for very few people,
named the readers of this list.
Motorbike travelling in general may be also an interesting topic, but I
could imagine 20-30 postings a day and in such dimensions a mailinglist
doesnīt handle the traffic effectively.
Additionally you would limit yourselves buy excluding riders of other
bikes who may have had similar experiences like you.
For such aims I would suggest to found a newsgroup, perhaps
"de.rec.motorrad.reisen" or something like that. Or is there such a
group, yet ?
This doesnīt mean that you canīt post your experiences in your holiday
to the list, especially if you did any AT-only roads or needed special
parts for your holiday (like our topic "when to buy Michelin Desert) :-)
This may be of interest for all AT riders, too, but a general
"Who/When/Where ?" of every reader would flood the list completely.
I hope you understand that and arenīt too disappointed and - if you can
give tips for good offroad trips in your holiday nobody will blame you
:-))
Greets,
