CANDIDS II

[moira finnie]

I still check this thread regularly here or on the TCM message board. It is a personal essential for me. Despite the changes that have come thanks to many more outlets to share our love of classic film, I enjoy "touching base" here and we are still bringing authors for Q & A exchanges here regularly. It would be great if people could let us know what features you really enjoy, such as Mongo's delightful compendium.

Thanks again, Joe, for your hard work. The pleasure you have given many of us is not measurable.

Thanks, as always, Moira. It's always a pleasure hearing from you.

It would be great if people could let us know what features you really enjoy, such as Mongo's delightful compendium.

One way to accomplish that goal might be to post a survey, and then send out an email to the membership alerting them to it. Leave the survey open for a couple of weeks. The results should be of some use if there is interest in making changes to appeal to evolving interests. Just my two cents.
