That is your opinion and one which you are entitled to.
It is a widely held view (general consensus) that email lists
are better for discussions than web fora, but this view is
not necessarily unanimous nor applies to all email lists or
fora.
Hi John,
Not an argument worth indulging in IMHO (especially when I am on a list
:-) )
I like forums because they're threadable and searchable. Obviously the
success of this list, and many others suggest there are large numbers of
people who prefer the list format.
I did pass your message past a small collection of university students.
When the laughing stopped, the agreed comment was "lists are so 90's".
More to the point, and as was also said earlier there, there is room for
both. Some of us, (and I note you recently posted on Ausgp), will lurk
on the format with which we are less comfortable just so we can remain
informed. And there should not be a problem with that.
