Thanks for all the references to alternative options to this list. I'll
take a look.

I have come to appreciate the people and discussions on this lists
though...it's really just the bandwidth.
    

*Your* bandwidth might be lower with a forum, though I'd doubt that.
Really? I don't understand that. My email ISP receives every message sent to the list; I certainly don't read every thread.
*My* bandwidth used would certainly be higher with a forum.
Surprising (to me). How is that? Perhaps I am not understanding how this stuff works....care to enlighten me?

Now that looks *very* interesting; certainly has potential.
    

Due to the huge amount of spam posters to this list received when some idiot 
signed the list up for gmane without my approval, these lists aren't allowed 
to be archived on gmane.
Hrm. That's unfortunate. I thought they had a spam filter - is it not any good?

Max.
