Oh, for the love of Christ. No, it doesn't. It's just that *web fora SUCK*. Literally *hundreds* of tools exist to manage traffic flow for mailing lists and Usenet groups (which is what we *really* should be doing, if you need an opinion :-); web forums are all different, and completely unmanageable for off line use.
