That's quite funny, > the only complaints I have got so far were out of laziness of the user. The advantage of "listserv" is that it requires the absolute minimum of time and effort by the readers and writers to maintain a high-level of participation. The disadvantage of it is that it requires more an more effort on their part to maintain a fractionally smaller level of particpation. The advantage of "forum" is that it requires the absolute minimum of time and effort by the readers and writers to maintain the lowest level of participation. The disadvantage of it is that it requires more and more effort on their part to maintain a fractionally higher level of participation. I think that is why we find the community split on preference of "listserv" versus "forum". Those who aspire to a higher fractional involvement under the present system bemoan the move to "forum" because that will require more effort on their part to achieve or maintain. (To call them lazy is ludicrous). Those who aspire to a fractionaly lower involvement under the present system (who want to avoid certain topics, discussions, etc.) welcome the move to "forum."
