well, it is effective :-) (i like email, it comes to me, i can do it offline, i can easily save what i want, I can reply to list or offlist, and you cna thread it if you need to). > >If this was a forum, there would be post and threads.

If someone slagged someone in one of the Help areas, a >moderator would >just remove that post. not quite. this list could be moderated. Moderation is moderation and requires a lot of work, whether it is this email list for a forum. Moderation and medium are two different things and are different conversations - if moderation is what is sought then this list could, for example, become moderated. But remember, it takes a lot of work to moderate (a list this busy I'd expect nearly an hour a day of your time if it was one person to skim, approve, reject with explanation). > >As I said way back when the forum idea was brought up, I prefer >forums.

As Mr Meade said, you >could, if you so >desired, have everything emailed to you anyways with a forum. that's true, i've never been a fan of forums but my own bias (which it is) is that email is faster, and more productive for getting things happening, etc. it is noisy but that comes with the territory. > >Of course...if nothing changes, then nothing changes I guess.
