Probably not. I don't make a habit of using forums. I had a play with them. i.e. set some up for an .org.nz and a school's parent community, but neither generated much traffic nor did anything much for the groups concerned. The main problem with them is that they are such a time-wasting fiddle to use, when compared with just banging off an e-mail.
I am comfortable for people to use this list to initiate OT discussions provided that the Reply-To: is set to some other list where interested folks can respond and continue the discussion. It was for this purpose that I suggested that Don should set up his own list. Rik has done this with his GNUZ list, which seems to have a life now. -- CS
