Yes, Lists and Forums are all about PEER SUPPORT > but I don't think I'm selfish only looking / answering when I've got a > problem and a reason to visit. That's not what I meant to say. Les explained it very well: I'll answer questions on the list, but I won't go looking through a forum, and I'm obviously not the only one who thinks like that. I'll resent it if a forum clutters this list with rubbish of one sort (FAQ-type questions) or the other (missing references disrupting threading et al.). I have nothing against anyone creating a forum not connected to the list, I just doubt you'll get the quality of answers you get on this list. That's all. > I know a List is not rocket science....(nor is Forum) That's not the point. It's a matter of preference and of which scales better. Mailing lists are event-driven and can end up in one central mailbox, while you need to individually poll each forum for new messages. > However, with the list I suppose I would have setup a Rule or unsubscribe ! For short-term usage, a forum is probably better. But you're looking for answers from long-term participants, aren't you? > Sorry still like Forums.... That's fine with me.
