I see this argument pop up on every mailinglist I am on once in a while. It becomes heated, some flames burst out, simmer on and then it dies down again and (luckily) nothing happens, as the majority always prefers mailinglist over forums... Forums have their use, but not to replace mailinglists. I am still looking for a forum that can double as a mailinglist to get the best of both worlds, but no luck so far... -- F Peeters PIII 450 - 1 GB - * 1.2 - BRIstuff 0.3.0 Pre 1 - Florz patch 2 Sweex HFC-PCI modes=0 sync_slave=0 timer_card=0 AMD Duron 1GHz - 1GB - * 1.2.1 - vISDN 2 Sweex HFC-PCI cards _______________________________________________ Visdn-hackers mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.uli.it/mailman/listinfo/visdn-hackers
