RE: [Talk] Forum's vs Listserv's

[Pivonka, Michelle]

I like both – having emails to alert me to new ideas, new ways to solve problems, but I also like being able to go back and search for things.   Michelle Pivonka, RN Systems Analyst Information Services Sinai Health System (773) 257-6020 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.sinai.org From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thom C.

The biggest disadvantage in my mind is that it is not as “immediate” to post, you have to login to a website to do it.   So what are your thoughts?   Regards, Thom   Thom C.
