2009/12/16 Jaroslav Hajek <[email protected]>: > Nice. But besides the search capabilities, I see no big advantages. Just the main 3: * You don't need to register. You can go there, search for a solution to your problem. In most cases that should be enough. * Privacy: In a forum I don't spread my email address. In a mailing list it's very easy to collect email adresses. I've already had to abandon 2 of my former email-adresses because they were spammed so massively after posting to newsgroups. * Only as many emails as I want that. Again: You can subscribe to the complete forum, then you will get everything as email. I personally don't want that. I am more or less just interested in the problems I have. So I go to the forum, check if there's already a solution If there is one I might want to subscribe to it so I get informed when there's discussion on that topic again. I also subscribe to topics I find to be important, so I get updated when there's news and I can find them later easily (there's an area "your subscriptions") If I see questions where I can help, I post my comments Then I post my question and when someone responses I get an email automatically (If I've set up my profile that way) However, I understand that you like to do it differently and I respect that. I just thought a different means of communication could make life a bit easier, especially for new Octave-users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
