RE: Re: Why I hate mailing lists
Well, if there was a link to gmane on the main mailing list page (or even a search field that went to gmane), we wouldn't get these threads every three weeks. :-) /dev/mrg -Original Message- From: Epstein, Ezra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 2:35 PM To: Tapestry users Subject: RE: Re: Why I hate mailing lists Thanks!

They are so 1983. Why don't all teams follow Hibernate's (and others) lead and choose a simple Forum (phpBB in the case of Hibernate). It (like google/yahoo groups) is free, keeps all the old posts, is automatically topically "threaded", is entirely searchable, if you're addicted to email you can get posts as emails or, if you prefer, receive daily digests.
