But maybe an idea?
I think in general, the idea is useful (and I have personally received such ideas in the past), but you need to consider the operational goals of mail-archive.com (or any other site) when considering such a feature. If I am not mistaken, mail-archive.com's main function is to serve as an archive for mailing lists. Things like "forum-style" communication is not a goal, and the business model of the site does not facilitate such functionality (increased operational costs). I believe Jeff provided the key reasons why such a feature is note desirable. Technically, nothing prohibits a site from doing what you suggest, but it needs to fit in with the operational and business model of the site. --ewh -- Earl Hood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Web: <http://www.earlhood.com/> PGP Public Key: <http://www.earlhood.com/gpgpubkey.txt> _______________________________________________ Discussion list for The Mail Archive Gossip@jab.org http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
