That depends on what you compare it to in terms of e-mail setup. Modern e-mail programs let you do a lot, and it doesn't take me a dozen mouse clicks to read a new message or to reply to it. It's perfectly fine that there are different points of view. Google Groups provides a good way of integrating web- and e-mail-based communication, and it does not require the constant policing and attention that one's own server brings (I speak from experience - I run a Mailman server, but use Google Groups as public archive). - David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
