The DeTomaso Archives?

It’s a stream of consciousness…. But if you ask a question, you will usually get high quality answers!

Got it - clearly that list is "going with the flow."  I'll stay here personally as I like the structure and people that provide such good technical information and advice.  

I’m on both… doesn’t take too long to skim through the topics on a daily basis…

I never search the archives there, though…

Rocky

Been on it for quite awhile. For whatever reason there are members on that list that don't participate on this one. It definitely is a bit basic and probably outdated but it works. I get the feeling there are more overseas participants.

I have been on this forum and the email list, as it is most commonly known, for over 20 years.

For all those years, I have always kept up-to-date by just going to the archives. I turned off all of the email options so I only receive monthly subscription notifications.

I find the email archives update instantly,  or you can easily change to a previous month’s postings.

The members on the email list tend to be older and more USA centered. Obviously a bunch of old fogies that still have AOL emails like myself. 😁

Thanks, Larry!

Learn something new every day!

I've been on both since before I bought my Pantera 21 years ago!  And I'm glad both exist!  There are different people one each - not sure why someone wouldn't want to be on both as I find I can't get enough DeTomaso content/info each day! 

In any case, subscribe to the mail list at the link Joules provided.

Turn off email notifications and forwarding.

Bookmark the link Larry sent.  When you want to see any updates throughout the day, just click the "View by Date" option, and every message/post appears in chronological order.

When you want to ask a question, just send an email to to detomaso@server.detomasolist.com with a meaningful subject line.  If you want to share something that is not Pantera related, preface the subject with "NPC" which means No Pantera Content.

To reply to a post, copy the subject to your email subject, and copy the relevant info you want to reply to or comment on and paste it into your email message beneath your comments.  I always preface it with --- original message --- so it's clear to folks what I'm responding to so they don't have to go find the original message.

The DeTomaso Mail List search capability is almost useless!  The best way to search the mail list is to use Google. Here's an example of a Google search of the site if I want to know what Porterfield brake pads I need:

site:http://server.detomasolist.com/pipermail/detomaso/ porterfield

Your search term should be the last word in the string, separated by a space from the site url.  If you need to search a multiple word phrase like "heater valve" enclose it in quotes.

Both forums have a place, and there are a lot of great people and good information in both places!

And now Facebook is in the mix.  There are several groups focused on Panteras.  Like the email list, it is barely searchable unlike this site where its advanced search is hard to beat.  For the person hosting something FB it has the distinct advantage of being free.  The user interface is okay and photos are good.

I have had a place-holding Facebook account for 10 or 12 years. I don’t make posts to my profile nor do I collect friends.

NOTE: If you are one of those 100+ friend requests I’ve received, please realize it’s not personal, I just don’t play that game.

last year I finally joined several Pantera and Cleveland Facebook groups. Again, a different mix from the email list or this forum, but definitely a spot for receiving a few tips and offering assistance to those in need.

I also enjoy the Cleveland groups for the wisdom gained by following their group’s postings.

YMMV

Which FB groups for 351c have you found to helpful?

I follow these three. I believe there are more.

Some of the most knowledgable are regularly on the other "email list", but I have always hated that format and just don't have the patience or time to read over and over the same thing as you scroll through the daily posts. I look at both but dread going to the other format. Comparitively, this is such a breath of fresh air from a format and search prospective and with a lot of very knowledgable and helpful owners!

When I created this thread, I "registered" on the DeTomaso email list and created a password.  That was 3 weeks ago.  Is there actually a login for this thing or can you simply send emails to the address posted and those emails appear on the list?  If not, is there an active administrator that actually does something before you can post.?

You don't need an account or registration.  Just send an email with a subject to detomaso@server.detomasolist.com

If you are responding to an ongoing discussion then send the email to the address above and copy/paste the subject from the discussion you are interested in.

ok did that.  How long does an email take to post ?  thanks Steve

It shows up immediately.  What was the subject?

"Four Panteras for Sale"

Posting for a friend

When did you send the email?

Also, I just sent a test message to it and it showed up immediately.  Can you see it?

Yes, Steve , it shows in the archives for my viewing, so that means it also must’ve gone to the Email List members.  

Larry

Steve, yes, I see your test message.  I believe you have to have your email address added by the administrator.   Otherwise, not sure what the sign up procedure and password are for?  

I do not see my email I sent to the address.  I copied myself and did receive it.

The registration site says "you will receive a confirming email" from the admins.  I never got anything from them.  Kind of like the ProvaMO syndrome.
