I responded earlier, but Michael has an excellent idea.  Do the forum but allow for a daily email if a user wishes it.   Whitney Leach Information Services Rutland Regional Medical Center 802-747-3629 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blake, Michael Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 8:57 AM To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: RE: [Talk] Forum's vs Listserv's I like the idea of a forum.  Make it so users could subscribe to a daily email that contains the posts and replies for the day.   Michael   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thom C. Blackwell Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 4:04 PM To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: [Talk] Forum's vs Listserv's Greetings, Wanted to pose a question to the group – we are evaluating putting up a forum in the customer area of our website as potential alternative to the Talk Listserv – the archives would be updated into the forum for – most likely using a scriptJ   But before we do anything - we’d like to know what you all think.   The advantages of a forum are that it’s much easier to search, to scan through and follow threads and you don’t get the “out of office replies” when you post on a holiday. 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.
