YUCK! I'm with ya... It's hurting me also and I need to find an option.... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Cook Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] New Online WhatsUp Gold Forum An RSS feed DOES NOT provide the functionality that a mailing list does. I have been testing Feedreader and it does OK. You can't reply to a message, you can't forward, you can't save the message in a different folder, and you can't delete a message you have read. So all of the messages just sit there. Also a very big thing to me is that I can't read it while at lunch like I do with all of my other mailing lists and forums. I sync my lists and groups that each has their own email folder to my handheld. I can flip though them while I eat lunch or when ever I have a few minutes like waiting for a meeting to start. I can even write my replies. Now I have to be on-line to read and on-line to reply. If I'm at my desk I have a lot of other things I should be doing. Because of the new forum I have spent an extra 2 hours at work this week reading and dealing with this group. So my big question is why a forum? It has not saved me any time only making it harder and more work to keep up to date.
