I myself prefer lists, I belong to yahoo groups, and gardenweb. I can see the current topics and when I click on them I can also see the entire thread easily online, I don't have emails clogging up my email program and having to delete them. All of that doesn't happen when I go to an online forum, and search function is right there as well which I use a lot, I don't have to go to an archive website, and I tried a search there that had no results when I knew they should be there.(?) The thing I DON'T like about lists is if they are private or put onto google. On one hand I can google topics like related to plants and posts on gardenweb will come up, but in the alternate health field it can be a liability to speak out on a topic not accepted by the establishment, so to me privacy is a big issue, as far as my being on record for alternative health. My former email account that downloaded into my computer got overwhelmed with junk mail so we switched to internet email which has excellent filters but the digest form was hard to post to. Individual emails don't have that problem but then I have to delete them individually too.

I do belong to a few forums, but I really do not like the forum format. It seems so much more cumbersome to me, and slow, and I think I miss out on a lot of information due to not seeing all posts on many topics in one place, if that makes any sense. Makes it much more convenient and faster to "dip my toe in" to subject lines I would have thought held no interest for me. I even personally prefer an email list to the facebook forums as well. sol M.G. Devour wrote: > Debbie asks: > >> Did I miss something?
