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>
