Re: Message Board

["Charlie Milkey" <pilotcp@gmail.com>]

i don't mind either way...i am on some vbulletin-type forums, and they
are very nice, but the mailing list is good too...the one good thing
about message board is that you can find past topics a lot
easier...but both ways are just fine to me :)
