Hmmmmm.... For me, a "web forum" is a poor man's mailing list, which itself is a poor man's Usenet newsgroup. Web forums are *really* crap and annoying, and I'm struggling to see the benefits. They seem to be liked by the "Internet == http" generation, who've often never used a proper Usenet client or threaded mail reader. A particular gripe is that the "web forums" with which I'm familiar show me every message in a given thread, not just any NEW messages. So I have to scroll down trying to remember where I last read up to. What should take 1 second actually takes 10 :-( :-( -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
