Judy,
I agree with you. I think some people will love the interactivity
of the new query system, but some people may prefer the CCHelper method.
The CCH queries will definitely be better indexed both on your site and at
CCH/Central. Some items on the new system won't be suitable for the
queries, but simply comments about another posting. I've just spent the
morning adding over 100 Miami Co. Queries to CCH, so I am a holdout on that
also. I would rather do the query system than to sponsor a list. It has
great possibilities. Maybe people won't be so dependant on you and your
knowledge and/or opinion to get information about your county(ies).

Ok, I'm back again. Had to think about this a bit (get some work
done too!)
So what do you think about having BOTH available to "visitors"? I suppose
it could turn out to be too much work, but I'm thinking of giving
researchers the choice of posting to the forum or to my current query form.
Then they'd also have the ability to view the postings thru either the
"search" function in the forum, or "clicking" on the current setup.
Sorry
to be such a pain in the butt about this, but I feel like I have this
mindset on CCHelper\Central and I'm really trying to rationalize the change.
I really like my pages the way they're set up now. But if the general
opinion is that researchers prefer the forum format, then that's the way
I'll go. Afterall, these pages are set up for THEM not ME. ;)
