[Asterisk-Users] Online forums vs email list...

[Kerry Garrison]

Sheesh enough already, as if this list doesn't get enough messages per day
as it is. Many people prefer forums, many people prefer mail lists. If you
prefer lists, fine, you are already here. If you prefer forums, then use
them. I have a forum at geekgazette.com and other people have them as well.
To each his own, enough noise on this already.

Main advantage : I don't have to go to a website and check if there is some
new post. I receive them when there is one.

I can't imagine that all the people on this list would go there every day to
check it.

Maybe you would like Gmail. It present you the mail as a conversation (like
a newsgroup) and let you use the power of google to search in your mail. If
you want an invite, drop me a mail and I'll gladly send you one.

Have a nice day
