On Fri, 25 Oct 2002 07:15:06 -0500 your time, you authored this: SM> I don't think that anyone who has been online for any length of time SM> will care much for them - From my own experience, I personally believe that this is not so! My forum members are 'long-termers' and most have been online since the year dot! Many of us are well versed in all things technical and therefore can in no way be described as 'newbies', not even close. Whilst many of us have our personal preferences for methods of communicating online we all agree that forums are without a doubt valuable, important platforms for communication, and that they can meet the requirements of all levels of user, and offer enhancements to communicating that other mediums cannot provide. I wouldn't like to say how this misconception has been propagated (the idea that only Internet newbies frequent Net forums) but the Internet is amass with professional help forums and general discussion forums alike so obviously it can be dismissed without much effort. It is my opinion that there are advantages and disadvantages with every communication medium, and that having complimentary forums would only provide benefits to all levels of user, as everyone will have different requirements. Should the initiators take their roles seriously then another useful resource will be made available to a wider audience and I don't see how others can be negative about that. The sooner forums emerge the better IMO. - -- Sl�n, Simon @ theycallmesimon.co.uk _______________________________________ Faffing about with TB! v1.61 on W2K SP3 PGP Key: http://pgp.netbanger.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Privacy is freedom.
