*BLINK* He expresses an opinion, you disagree with it and therefore what he says should be moderated out of existance? I'm sorry, but arguments that on this list not every post is as nice as possible are just not going to fly. This list is no worse than any other I'm on. This is the real world and the list reflects that. If you don't like what you read, ignore it. But the idea of moderation scares me because I might miss something useful just because someone else decided I shouldn't see it. I'll decide for myself thank-you-very-much. >From my point of view, web based forums can never compete for me because: 1. The RTT to bring a new page in and render it takes at least a second, usually more. 2. Displaying more than one message at a time is irritating because then you have to scroll around and it can no longer track read/unread. 3. Finally, colours, pictures, odd fonts, etc slow down my reading speed. I prefer everything in a fixed width font, white text, black background, each message starting at exactly the same point on my screen. Keyboard control only. The combination means that I could only get through less than half as many forum posts as mailing list posts in a given period. Time being money completes the picture. -- Martijn van Oosterhout Ecomtel Pty Ltd _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
