Because bbs software requires net connection at the time of browsing. Because newsgroups are basically email with central IMAP server, and newsgroups don't have access control to handle stupid spammers. Mailing lists also allow any individual that is subscribed create their own archive. Mailing lists also are able to be read offline at the users convenience. Mailing lists can be easily read on any number of alternative devices. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
