Sorry for writing so much but I really feel strongly that a forum will

be a positive thing. The more information we can get out to general
users
and the more help we can offer them the better. I personally thing the
forums and the mailing list will be two seperate tools. I don't think
there
will be that much overlap. By that I mean people who use the mailing
list
now will probably want to stick to the mailing list. But I also see a
lot
of things that really don't need to be on the mailing list. General
topics
about equipment to go with the neo, new way's they will use the neo, and
just general questions about network providers and plans don't need to go
here. Let them ask those question in the forums. I think the forums
would
be a good place for people to ask general questions get general
answers and
just enjoy discussing a wide range of things. I think the mailing list
could benifit a great deal from a forum. Just my $0.02.
I think Matthew's post was 100% correct. People need to get off their
high horse and realize that just because the mailing list and wiki works
for them, doesn't mean that is the best tool for everyone. A forum is a
great tool, that allows people to follow threads based on what interests
them instead of having to receive ALL of the messages. Not providing
one would be a great disservice to a lot of the people that (possibly)
will be purchasing the "Mass Marketed" phones.
