Gee, if only there were a protocol to handle messages and threading and
group hierarchy.  People use USE it on a NETwork.  I know!  We could
call it USENET!  :-)

I'd probably participate *less* if there were only a web forum.

Something that provides a good mail-to-forum gateway.  Any software that
can cross-post in both directions is okay.  I'm not against web
forums--I just don't want it to be the only thing.

If you're desperate in 3-4 months, ask me again. :)

That's annoying (but makes sense as an anti-spam measure), I think its
less of an issue if the forums can cross-post to the list.
