Wow, go away for a few days and holy war breaks out...cool! Why not one system that supports both without extra work? The model I'm thinking of is Google or Yahoo groups(*). You can access any 'forum' via a web browser, search, post, reply, etc AND/OR you can subscribe to any forum and get messages sent to you via email (individual or digest format). At work, I sit behind a firewall and web access involves a multi-stop PITA process so listerservers work well for me there. At home, forum access is easier since I can go to the forum site, decide what I want to read and/or respond to without cluttering up my email client. Doug (*) - I am NOT suggesting this forum be configured like Yahoo, the search function absolutely sucks and I'm not a real fan of the layout, but the concept of a forum that's a list that's a forum...is what I like. For what it's worth, Yahoo has not PHP groups I can find but there are 33 over at Google with 100 - 1000 members. _______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail message has been sent by Kollsman, Inc. and is for the use of the intended recipients only.
