Btw, there is one other element that I learned to really hate on web-
forums, almost worse than the info-push/-pull difference, and that is
the crappy editor....always too small, never a nice fat font-
type....almost like the ergonomic disaster of a PC-mouse, instead of
a trackball....;))
Add the continuous pestering with log-in procedures, and there is
quite a lot more energy needed to read & reply on web-forums, which
is crucial to get even the lightest discussion going....one should
not have such ergonomic thresholds for participating.

Just as long you keep in mind that for many on this planet, their IP-
connections are not good enough for multimedia bandwidth (and PC-
performance).
(way too many web-designers forget this too)
