There is another option (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) which is to use NNTP protocol but not part of Usenet. I read this list via gmane over nntp. This to me means - I can record which messages I have read/not read - I can choose which newsreader I want - can mark (using thunderbird) which message I want to reply to later etc My main grouses against forums is that - you are forced to use whatever "user friendly" front end the implementer has chosen. - in most ones I have come across it is hard to find which posts are new and which you have already seen. And following another part of the thread Robin Menneer wrote: > I"m happy with this list provided it stays in its present form. Had a > look at Gmane and don't like it. Robin I am happy with this list in its current form. I happen to like gmane via NNTP and if pressed (i.e. not using my own machine)will use the web interface. So I agree with Robin's conclusion albeit for different reasons. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
