The mailing lists predate the forum by many years. Some people who
used the mailing list complained they preferred a forum, so RunRev
obliged and provided the forum. It's not that one discussion
mechanism is officially sanctioned by RunRev, although I suspect new
users find the forum before the f
I use this because for whatever reason forum posts show up in my main mailbox
even though I have a rule to put posts into a special folder when they come in.

Thanks, Jacque.
I am definitely "out of the loop" as opposed to "in the know," but I
have always preferred the mail list, perhaps because I am lazy and it
comes to me instead of my remembering to go to it and check every
board. Also, email is faster and only requires remembering one
password.

Hi Richard,
this question/discussion pops up from time to time. Everyone has other

Hi Richard,
This mailing list is exactly as official as the forum.

Here's my serious question. Why do so many people "in the know" use the list
