[C320-list] Forums vs. email-list (was thongs.. :)

[K L]

I agree, I would much prefer that the group use the forum approach. Even if 
you filter or set up a separate email address, you still have to wade 
through many messages that are of no interest and you still have to mark the 
ones you want to delete. Many of these messages are really personal 
communication between two people that get forwarded to the whole group. My 
final point is that with the email approach, knowledge gets lost. Someone 
takes a fair amount of time to write an informative email but that 
information is not saved for future subscribers to the list.

I am currently using the McAfee forum to resolve a software issue and I love 
the way it works. Knowledge is preserved in threads that future readers 
search and I get an email to alert me to the fact that someone has posted a 
response to my posting. Very efficient.
