I also disagree! :) I prefer using my mail reader since I can keep track of
what's happening far more easily... and I have a local copy. Those of you
that wants a forum style should look at freshmeat for some programs that can
show your e-mail with a forum style. Find an e-mail client that offer
threading support and you're set! Anyway, you can do a lot more thing in
e-mail (like flagging message, sorting them in folders, annotating them,
etc) than you can do in a web based forum.
And may I suggest someone register win4lin-users at www.mail-archive.com?
It's a free service from VALinux (I think) that show a mailing list in
threaded format. This would easily fulfill your desire! ;)
Just my two US cents... (with the decreasing value of CAN$, this will be
worth a lot pretty soon lol!)
