Yeah. Probably such a gating implementation would probably need to quote the message that the forum posting is in reply to. Note, that I am not proposing that a gatewayed forum would be good (I'd just as soon see no forums implemented -- I have a real dislike for them), but just that if enough pressure did mount to provide them, having them gated to the list is better than stand-alone forums to prevent fragmenting the community into two different groups communicating amongst themselves. b.
