I have to agree with Pete - there were no notifications to this list until
{to|yester}day... Also in agreement - I will no visit an web forum. Been
using Evo as far as I can remember running Linux - early 2k - hate to drop
this off my mailing lists.. I am on a huge amount of lists because like it
has been mentioned, they are easy to peruse.. Make me go to a web page,
which then has topics with sub-topics, etc and you will lose me (even if I
am unimportant to the project).
