Meh … I use several forums for a range of topics I have an interest in — ham and not ham — they also have their plusses and minuses. And I fully agree that conversion to a forum structure will significantly alter the kind of interaction that takes place.
I subscribe to several active reflectors, and don’t feel much sympathy for folks who complain about how difficult it makes their lives to sort through their inbox from just this ONE ;-) Most of the time It isn’t very busy on a relative basis :-) And like other comments, once I have to actually visit a forum because I've shut down the feed on individual messages, or just occasionally visit the archives of a reflector to see what’s been going on, it’s a good sign I’m losing interest and eventually just drop out. > If someone joins a forum but most of their traffic comes to their inbox, > the forum activity will be muted in the continuing flood of emails.
