Yeah! Thank you very much!

You'll still need to go to the forum to post a message or reply, but posted messages will come to you automatically. We're also in the process of putting together an FAQ that will describe how to setup RSS news readers to attach to the forum feed. That and one of the free readers available out there will get help get things moving. I'm not sure how many of you have tried RSS, but for guys like me that consume huge quantities of news on a daily basis, RSS is fabulous. Cheers! pete.;1 -)-------------- Peter H.

Why can't we have both, but have them be the same! SO are you telling me that you like the idea of checking two place to get the info you need/want on WUG. I'm NOT asking that you stop with the forum. All I'm asking for is that when you subscribe to the forum that you get the messages NOT a notification that there is a message. This is the only forum I have seen that does that. PLEASE DO NOT SEPARATE THE GROUP!!

A forum just makes an easily searchable place to store info. When's the last time you posted a screenshot to the mailing list to explain how to set something up? That is easily done in a forum, and I think a lot of the question such as "How do I monitor bandwidth with WUG" or "How do I setup SNMP" or other questions you see almost weekly will go away. I don't want to get rid of the list either though, I do the same and do most of my reading/writing/replying on my handheld on the trainride to and from work, but I do agree with the larger functionality of a forum such as this. It's more just an expansion to the list I guess. If you don't like the forum, then just stick to the list.. or vice versa. I think, in time, both will come to convey similar information... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/14/2004 12:29:40 PM >>> 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.
