Hi Ben,
I like the bulletin board you've set up. I'm not
interested in collective nouns and things like that. ( I know where to find the
delete key )
Thanks for the effort.

Subject: Re: [HG] bbs?
Fantastic! I had no idea about mail-archive.com
This should be made known to everyone on the list (as it is now) and when they
join! Maybe people could do a search there for 'sticky keys' before they
post to the list?
At the moment, there seems to be nothing but disinterest in a bbs, which
is fine. As I mentioned in my post, it's either going to work for
everybody, or it's no worth doing. I'll wait 24 hours or so to gauge
broader interest - if it's not there, I'll take it down and not bother.
I find the question of bbs vs. email list quite interesting. There
are some email lists that I'm on and the format works for me quite well
(likely because there is very little traffic) and the messages are very
relevant. And there are other forum-type things that don't work for me
at all! The Yahoo forums are not to my taste because it's not organised
into broader topics, just a linear flow of messages (more like email).
The forum/bbs things that I like tend to be moderately organised, fairly busy,
and have a rather nice feel of community. I find when the emails flow in
and out (and get deleted), I don't get that sense.
Thanks to those of you who have put in your $0.02 so far!
Regards,
ben

I, for one, will not use a forum type

I agree 100%, for the same reasons.
