I don't like that at all. I can't access news servers through the firewall we have here. I also tend not to think to intentionally go out to check a news server on a regular basis. If messages are coming to me, I don't have to think. They are always there. I have my mail program route them to their own folder. Since I have my mail program open all day long, they are always in front of me, so it's quite easy to pop over during a break and look at what's come in. I'm also not convinced you'd have the same support from Palm staff if everyone jumped ship for a different forum. I agree that the traffic can be a bit heavy at times, but it's easy enough to select a block of messages and hit delete if you don't want wade through them.

Here is a suggestion: 1. We'll have the best results in getting our questions answered if everyone uses a single forum. 2. The mailing list format is extremely inconvenient, requiring downloading of 40 or more messages each day. Although you can access this mailing list as a newsgroup, you still must subscribe to the mailing list to be able to post, and the newsgroup does not work properly with the netscape newsreader. 3. The newsgroups at news.massena.com (pilot.programmer and pilot.programmer.codewarrior) work very well. Because of that, I recommend that we all move to the massena site. We could periodically post messages on this mailing list saying that all the action is at massena.com.
