But I've noticed that the subject always seems to be brought up by the new people who prefer the forum format and are unhappy that all of the action is on the mailing lists. It would be neat if we could have a forum topic called emc-users and one called emc-developers set up so that if you post to the forum it would be sent to the list and if you posted to the list it would appear on the forum. That would permit the forum users to go to only a single place to see the real action. (I suspect that the complaint would then be that the emc-users topic contains too much disparate stuff and should be broken into multiple topics.) As far as I recall, most of the people at Wichita were familiar names from the list. So I'm happy sticking with just the list, and confident that I'm not missing much by avoiding the fora.
