Hi Richmond, There has already been quite a lot of discussion about this point, so I will quote you the "official" RunRev response: On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 10:18 AM, Bill Marriott <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > We have a forum set up for users of on-Rev at forums.on-rev.com -- this is > the ideal spot for the latest news/announcements, discussing on-Rev, > technical issues with it, usage concerns, etc. > > For example, information about accessing sites placed at the root level of > your hierarchy (that I just reposted here) was originally posted to the > on-Rev forums on Apr 24. > > However, we have no problem with folks discussing on-Rev here.

Personally, there are threads that I merely skim, or ignore completely, but I know that if/when I need to use a particular feature, it is very likely that there will be some info in the list archives, even if I ignored it at the time. If people prefer, maybe we could all put [On-Rev] in the subjects of On-Rev emails, so that they can be easily filtered out by those not wanting to learn about that particular aspect of Revolution yet.
