Re: loopers-delight-off-topic@googlegroups.com

As someone who spends far too many of his waking hours dealling with issues of collecting, organizing, and making available reams and terrabytes of material, I would strongly advocate what both Per and Mark have said. The "archives" of the List are searchable, email clients such as Googlemail/Gmail help to thread the discussion in your Inbox, and YOU, the enduser, have control over making the decisions.

Of course, "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice (THUMP!THUMP!)"* ... so be it.

Best to all,

Dennis

Wholeheartadly agree with Mr Boysen, this subject comes up once a year.Personally Any forums I have been a member of I have always fallen out of.

LD has been like this for 10 years, and the illustrious Mr Flint has here an immense resource in the archives. Its almost a tradition to be like this!

True the system is a bit clunky nowadays, but as Per points out, with Gmail as your client, it IS a forum!!! If you don't use gmail I suggest you give it a try, and see the diff

It would be interesting to hear why?

I'm still under the presumption that a mailing list is more useful,
for the following reasons:

- Any user can chose what e-mail client to use. This also leads into...
- Easy and fast ways to search for information.
- Totally customizable regarding how the individual prefers to sort
and keep track of posts.
- Good online readers available, gmail being the leader right now.
- Good offline readers available so one can read the posts and compose
ones own replies when not being close to an internet node.
