This would answer the concerns voiced here and allow for unlimited conversation by interested parties on particular topics without disturbing everyone else. It would also archive all conversations so people could look there rather than saving mails. Do we know how many emailers have browsers and how many don't? If there are enough browsers out there then the discussion forum would be a good way to go, otherwise we obviously would not want to alienate a proportion of the ultimate community. Maybe we should consider the forums for 'official' debates at least as those involved are likely to be more technically literate? Anyway, food for thought, Roger SHOTGUN wearing my nethead hat rather than my hat of rage.
