I sort of agree, but To me a mailing list immediately makes you feel a part of a community. And you don't have to do anything special to keep in touch. If anything is happening, like this topic, you just know about it. A web based forum requires the subscriber to actually make the effort to visit the site, more like going to a slug meeting rather than coming across your friends & colleagues at the bus stop, in the supermarket, pub, etc. where you happen to be anyway. -- rayH _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
