<panto>Ohhhh no it isn't</panto> You can't sort threads in forums. You can't delete stuff you've read. You can't choose which client you read the content in. You can't display it in a convenient format for you. You can't filter it. You can't cache it offline easily. You can't reply offline and post when you're connected again. You can't get a digest version. You can drop in and out of a mailing list easily, continuing to read where you left off. > I think its a lot easier for it to be managed and sorted. That's irrelavent from a user perspective. Just my 2p. Cheers, Al. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
