I think the fora were meant to be in addition to the lists. A lot of
people apparently DO want the fora.

The problem is that a *different* lot of people seem also to want the
mailing list. And bear in mind that the lists are actually run by an
organisation that is a commercial concern, and neither IBM nor u2ug.

Cheers,

U2UG is OF the users, BY the users, and FOR the users.

If this statement is true it sounds like someone wasn't listening
or asking the users if they were even interested in this forum
idea.  It seems to have been done without the input of the very
people it is supposed to serve.

For the record, I have unlimited internet access both at work
and at home but I think the forum idea sucks.  I want my list
info via email so I can filter it and read it offline at a time that
is convenient for me and my employer.  I have subscribed to
U2UG but I don't expect to spend much time there.
