Don't tell me, but your next request is going to be to move the IRC
discussion to AIM?
Look, for all that a web forum does, a mailing list is /so/ much
quicker. Messages to the list are pre-sorted into folders, which I
access via IMAP from Outlook. Outlook sorts them by subject/date, I

Why don't we mirror all of the maillist posts to a
forum. That way both parties are happy. Those that want a
forum can use a
forum interface and still post to the maillist and those that like
