I also DEFINITELY prefer mailing lists. Newsgroups may be acceptable. I really can't stand forums, each of them has a different web interface, and I find this painful (while I read mail and news with the same interface). Given the limited traffic on fvwm (this mondary morning was one of the peaks), I find no trouble in deleting the majority of mails which do not concern or interest me, to save for future reference the unsolicited (by me) ones which I find may interest me, to interact in the few cases I have something to contribute, and I am quite pleased to have SOON a reply coming DIRECTLY TO ME when I post a query. Gateway between mailing list and forum could be acceptable, but it should hide e-mail addresses. I am subscribed to a mailing list which is gatewayed with a NG, and just for that reason use a dedicated "nospam" account to post to it ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
