and we need a way to search both at the same time for answers.

Personally, I think that this doubles capacity instead of halving

changed dramatically since the Forums came online.
Except that when you need an answer from Aaron, for example, you
can no longer get one.
Unless you have other ways of accessing him, which I do. Jon, it
turns out that Socket.Error is a special case; it's designed to
fire immediately, even if you're in the middle of processing some
other event, so that your code can realize that the socket is
pretty much worthless at that point.
I personally prefer the NUG (and mail lists in general) over
forums because they seem to be more efficient and time relevant to
me. With forums you need to actively poll for topics that interest
you
Me too. I can't stand any web forums, except the ones at
lugnet.com, which are particularly well designed -- but those are
also accessible as mailing lists (and by NNTP for that matter).
That's the sort of system we ought to have, if there are people who
prefer checking a web forum to checking their email.
Best,
- Joe
