Well, this was suggested at the LI* a few days back - but I am personally against this ;) 1. I hate browsers when they display forms :) 2. Admining message boards are a pain in the * 3. Nothing beats the nice text formatted humble emails (Fancy html sucks) In fact, while the ilug-cal site was still beta, I had experimented with a mailing list - forum system, where the a forum integrated into the site would interface with the list - posts in the mailing list will go into the forum and posts into the forum would go into the mailing list But later I abandoned the idea considering the administrative hassles involved :) -sdg- -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://www.peacefulaction.org/sayamindu/] * GNU is Not Unix * ....
