-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Dave,
@22-Oct-2002, 11:29 -0700 (19:29 UK time) Dave Crocker [DC] in mid:711462942.20021022112900@;dcrocker.net said: DC> Often, a discussion forum is sent as both a mailing list and a DC> newsgroup, with a gateway doing the cross-posting. This lets DC> people access the discussions in whatever manner they prefer. True, although a message board is somewhat outside of either of these more traditional media. I hate using message boards myself. I much prefer the streaming method of the mailing list where you can tune in and out of conversations pretty easily. That doesn't mean I don't accept the points raised - that not everyone hates them and that such a forum only serves to increase product visibility. DC> A question that might be worth focusing on is what discussion DC> groups are needed. tbudl is a very general discussion. As has DC> been raised elsewhere, perhaps there should be a distinction DC> between new-users and advanced-users? This has traditionally been the separation between TBUDL and TBTECH. DC> Perhaps there should be a separate list for people who offer TB DC> support? I don't see why TBTECH can't double up with that function - it's the place where the more technical discussions occur. If there is a need for a separate supporter's list (i.e., I think it's a great suggestion - a place for the more knowledgeable to throw around support issues before coming back to the users with a definitive response), I guess we can set one up on yahoogroups or, if there's no requirement for immediacy of turnaround I could host one here at silverstones.com. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62/Beta7 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE9tayHOeQkq5KdzaARAnXZAKD0e+c5j/kVXUtSKOpN5J4C05zAKACfVgzj i4WdKYbpVCSH5DLRp6Fdpzc= =BPlr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
