For heavy use (high traffic) navigating forums
is significantly slower .. and how fast pages
come up varies a good bit. Viewing downloaded
messages does not.
Visually scanning a list of messages is
quick... and with OSX mail threading that list
can be much shorter (though I don't use it).
Sorting by Date or author is something I find
useful also as well as searching by key words.
also I have mailboxes see up I can drag message
i want to to save to for reference... can't do
that easily in for forums...
Also forums can only be read while on-line...
down loaded messages can be read at your
leisure even when you don't have a connection
(laptop or your ISP is having problems)
Mailing lists give me more control overall and are more efficient for me.
I second all of that ยก;-)
I also whole heartedly agree!! I just joined the
forum, spent a couple of hours there, did not
learn much there.
Cheers,
Peter
