I didn't mean to say that there were any spam/trolls on the list, but that it can be a problem with forums unless you take steps to make it not a problem. Sorry for any confusion there. So, I guess the general consensus is that a forum would not be preferred to a list format. Just wanted to bring it up in light of the off-topicness of some of the posts, and the complaints thereof. I myself wouldn't open a forum as an alternative to this list because: a) I don't have any hosting space to do so b) If you throw a party and no-one comes, is it a party? But, thanks to everyone for voicing an opinion. -- Matthew S. Klahn Software Architect, CodeTek Studios, Inc. http://www.codetek.com
