A> Number of forums - hmmm... I'd suggest: [Could have sworn I remember Anne identifying herself not too long ago as a newcomer to the program.... Anne, you integrate quickly :-) ] While the division of forums (fora?) which Anne suggested could be helpful in some ways, I'm concerned that it would exacerbate the big problem with the message board idea to begin with: more time and effort. There would be more links to click to view messages, essentially the *opposite* of having them all in a TB folder threaded by reference so they can be eyeballed quickly and at one time. Plus, there is the concern, which was discussed in the course of Anne's earlier post about a different list, that discussions of one topic often morph into, or are pertinent to, other topics. So, this would be a vote against too many separate forums, and, instead, in favor of fewer forums with good topic identification practices and threading of replies. -- JN ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
