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.

[snip] Cheers, Wol 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.
