I don't like forums either. But I might add that forums could look better by the day now since email has gotten quite reliable these days. The spam problem has gotten bad enough that the major webmails are starting to randomly block company static IP addresses and/or block each other. This makes mailing lists look unreliable and forums "good". Might be another reason people prefer forums... -- cheers, -ambrose Yahoo and Gmail must die. Yes, I use them, but they still must die.
