And _I_ like using an off-line e-mail client, and not being bothered by going through a webbrowser--but I suspect that others prefer not to have an e-mail client, and prefer to have the freedom to use small, sophisticated gadgets instead of bigger gadgets that sit on the table, or take most of a lap. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql

I'm on several that send me email when there are new forum postings. Here is one: http://www.mobileread.com Based on hints in the html comments, they appear to be using VBulletin (http://www.vbulletin.com/) a fairly common forum package.

The major benefit I see on StackOverflow and the like, is the rating system on the comments, and to some extent the rating system for users. On the other hand, I find that the signal-to-noise ratio on older media like mailing lists and IRC tends to be much more favourable, presumably because it is where the dinosaurs dwell :-) A lot of new users may only use the MySQL Forums Forum use is radically down also.

I've long wanted to - but never quite got around to - write a forum that integrated a mailing list. Bar mail clients that don't handle list threads well, it really doesn't seem such a difficult task. I never understood why nobody ever did it, as it allows members of a community to interface with it through their preferred means. Perhaps one of those web2.0 types will eventually get around to it :-) -- Unhappiness is discouraged and will be corrected with kitten pictures. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
