I agree as well... phpbb is much better solution.

I'd still vote for phpbb.
Then we could have catagories.
Hardware
  Digim
  Cisco
  Other
Software
  Scripts
  ...
Wish List
  ...
Services
  Active Gateways
  Commercial Networks

We can still be all part of this big Asterisk "community" but 
sorting through it is easier.

And yes, my mail client does allow viewing by threads.

It's still a lot to wade through.

If hosting or bandwidth is a problem, I have both bandwith and 
server space.

the lists plus one of two more
