Yes, it will open a browser if I ask it to. That's an extra step which I 
need to wait for. Then I have to wait for the forum servers. Then I have 
to log in and deal with that horrible little text box with all the silly 
html buttons and gadgets. I choose not to auto-register on my mobile 
device, which is where I read the RSS. On my desktop machine I simply go 
to the forums in a browser and deal with server lag in the usual way -- 
waiting for a page to load, going back to the list, waiting for the list 
to load, going to another new post, waiting for that to load, etc. It 
takes me a few minutes to read the lists, it takes me half an hour or 
more to read the daily posts on the forums. Perhaps your internet 
connection is faster or you have influence with the server.

My point is simply that there is an easy option available that isn't 
enabled. It would save me a lot of time. I could participate with the 
same ease as I do in this mailing list.
