I'm one of those firmly in the email camp, but I participate in a couple of lists that are also perfectly reflected in a forum system. There's a commercial (but not very expensive) product that does this - vBulletin. Post to the forum, it also shows up in email, and vice versa. Forum threading is done by email subject line. Messages are actually kept in a database like mySQL.
It's pretty cool. I've been contemplating converting one of the lists I run just to see what it's like. I liked usenet, too - better threading than the mail readers of the day. I think the key difference is that I didn't have to go looking for what's new, which is what it feels like trying to keep up with a dozen different fora... (usenet isn't dead, btw, it just smells funny). 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
