And I'm not convinced. IMHO, information about competing products
should be welcome, especially about what they can do that TB can't,
because it's a good starting (or reference) point for how we want TB
improved.
I've left Eudora for years, I still check out Eudora newsgroup from
time to time, just to see what's happening over there. (Moodwatch?
Ehhh, no thanks.)
The focus of TBUDL, of course, would always be on TB (Do we want
this feature? Isn't it something we can do already in TB? ...etc.),
and I see no threat for TBUDL to loose this focus. No one is talking
about how to improve Becky, or Eudora, or whatever, isn't it?

Though I appreciate Arjan's initiative, I don't think it's meant to
take such discussions away from TBUDL. It's not OT, and I'm not sure
RIT guys read TBOM. The bottom line is, I can't go set up, e.g.,
TBFLT, and say all discussion about filters should go there instead
of here. (I don't think Arjan means that, either.)

I didn't have such an impression, honestly.

Against whom, or what? Is (Was) TB in danger in anyway? :)
People try out TB (and others) everyday. Not everyone stays
eventually. Most leave without saying so. Today someone came out and
shared with us why he chose a competitor over TB, and I think that's
valuable information (though from my reply you could see I disagree
with him one most counts).

I guess you would have to win people over by more than a statement
like that. :)
I also tried out a few email programs at the same time; many do. I
settled down on TB; not everyone does. I certainly couldn't say
they're making the wrong choice (they might, but I'm not in their
shoes).
Yes, TB is the best, TO ME. Yet people have different needs. TB
isn't perfect, either, so there's room for improvement. Any
information, suggestion, and discussion about it, therefore, should
be welcome, IMO.
