true enough.
i have to say that project growth favors a forum over a mailing list.
i guess i believe that the project should expand to become more well known
and the obvious choice for expansion is forums.
i wouldnt say im adamant about having forums and i wont fight you for it but
i should at least give as much information as i can and share my experience
and *knowledge. hopefull the right choice will prevail(whatever that choice
is). i hope to see backuppc evolve into a default and obvious package in
many linux/unix distros.
