Tell them HTML is evil and not to use it, then show them that news
server you've secretly been hiding in the corner :)
news does threading, you can set up kill-folders, do all sorts of
neat things with it, and it's easily archivable. Much better than
message boards IMO :)
But that's me, and I'm weird, I *like* using a philips head
screwdriver on philips head screw instead of the far more prevalent
5lb. sledge hammer :)
