I prefere a mailing list. Actually, I prefer a newsgroup, with a limited number of posts on my box, but GMANE insists that I use my real email address. It is good protection, but means that my email address would become visible through Usenet on other groups. That is why I switched to a mailing list. Like Steve Litt, I want posts sent to me. At the same time, I have few problems so far, and any that I have are probably somewhere in the archives. I only browse what comes in. I would be O.K. with a forum. Just my vote. Doug.
