How About a Forum, I'll Supply the Space?

[Charles Hartman]

I agree. Email is a more convenient way to receive and browse  
information (hey, I don't have to do anything to get it) when there  
are 10 or 20 messages a day. A graph of recent activity on this list  
would look pretty steep. And though I think it has had some of the  
characteristics of a spike, I don't think it really is a spike.

And we have to go to the archives anyway to search by threads (though  
it doesn't cross month boundaries!).

Of course all this might mean I should unsubscribe from this list and  
remind myself daily to check the archives . . .
