It's clearly for those on broadbands or those with unlimited dialup access, cheap phone rates and a lot of time to wait for the pages to load as you try to read the posts. With broadband it's a lot more feasible though not as fast as e-mail. Definitely for the person passing through for a specific reason and not for heavy regular participation. Be that as it may, if there are those who'd prefer such an interface, then by all means there's no reason why they shouldn't have one if it can be established. TF> Also, I simply do not like writing messages through an HTML TF> interface in my browser; I prefer email. My current grouse with using one. I don't mind doing it for the occasional support query, but not for regular contributions. But to each his own. No real sense in discussing whether or not it should be done if there's enough demand for it. Those who prefer the web board will use it. Those who prefer a mailing list will use it. Pretty much like how we choose our software and OS's eh? :) Good luck with your efforts to start one Don. I hope it runs well so that those who prefer using that interface will not have to use a mailing list when they'd prefer not to. - -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta7 & WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1 (Win32) - GPGshell v2.60 iD8DBQE9tZrGV8nrYCsHF+IRAp0LAJ4+V/O4hIQqIjtErWvwsdQ0TWs+7ACfTTwt A4c9zy77ijvMxqELuHkaA5I= =/LD0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
