Re: Message Board

Matthew,

> I think some of you frequent the wrong message boards.

I've yet to see a web-board match the functionality of something like the 
classic Compuserve forums (not the abominations they now run), or CIX, or 
Delphi or some of the old pre-web BBSs etc. They had all the features you 
could dream of and yes, I would certainly prefer something like that to a 
mailing list. But sadly there are no web forums that come any way close to 
a 
BBS ca. 1988, let alone Compuserve ca. 1998.

There are lot's of things that can't be done on a mailing list, but the 
one 
thing it does do - straightforward conversation - it does better that 
anything else currently available. IMHO of course!

Umm ... isn't that what we're doing right now? <g>
