Understood. Yes, I read it like mail on one computer only. I can see how that's not ideal for many people.

Thank you LEM - WAS::: Re: Google Reader going away, now what?
Its often difficult to impossible to understand the reasoning behind a move like this from the outside, and since I do not provide support to LEM first hand, I realize exactly where my opinion weighs. I would ask that some form of a mailing list, such as Mailman, or something similar be retained. I do not plan to follow if the list is moved from a mail list to a web based forum. If LEM end up as only a web based forum, I would like to take this time, when we are all still together as a group, to say thank you to everyone who made LEM happen. It was a great run and I very much appreciated all of the efforts made that kept this list alive.
