You know, I've wondered for the past couple of days if the mailing list might be better presented in some form of web forum, like phpbb or ubbthreads. I say this not so that we can have picture sigs or any of that crap, but rather just that it would be much easier to trim out stuff and might make reading a particular thread a little nicer. Also, if you ignore an entire thread, you don't have to delete it from your Inbox. I know that most people won't like this suggestion, but it occurred to me. Oh, and, you can do things like password protect the forums and have people have to register to post, etc. so that you don't have trouble with bots posting, etc. Thoughts, opinions, flames? Btw, I do appreciate having this mailing list, and I also appreciate the people that make it possible. I'm not trying to offend anyone or raise any hackles, but just wondering something outloud... err... in text. -- Matthew S. Klahn Software Architect, CodeTek Studios, Inc. http://www.codetek.com
