There is a piece of software for phpBB that allows a user to insert the posts from a Yahoo group, like this, into your phpBB DB. I was going to use it for k9discussion, but I was afraid that I would have problems with the list owners. The discdog world is quite...interesting... let's say. We are a dysfunctional, but largely happy community. 

We had 5 guys going through 10,000 or so messages before I pulled the plug. 

That is a way that you could grab all of the info from this list and populate a forum with good information from here.

Just thought I would share that. 

I can find out what the app is called that does that, if you want.

But, again thats not the issue.  And I'm not making any such mistake, myself ... as I said earlier:

"This is clearly a great group, and has great information for those just starting.  No body is saying otherwise.  The simple question was essentially 'is there a better way for this group to present that information to make it more accessible "for those people who cant follow the topic well enough yet to be like you and join a dozen different groups to find the information."

If the answer is No, its no.  If the answer is Yes its yes.  But saying "this list has great ideas in it already" doesnt address the issue.  The question wasnt "how can we get better information out there" it was "how can we get information out there better". 

Anyway ... this topic is so all over the map now, I doubt this thread can really discuss it fairly ... no matter we'll do the same run around again in six months. :-P
