It would be interesting to see how FFL would fare as a forum. The
difference would be you could have specific sections including a
"General" for all kinds of topics. Heck you could Turq and Judy their
own section. One dynamic with a forum that doesn't occur with Yahoo
Groups is that some authors could see how many people actually "viewed"
their topic.
