Yeah, but forums are horrible.
PLEASE could we have a way to sign up to receive all forum posts by 
email - I'd be willing to log in to the forum to post replies, but as a 
way to receive new messages, this has to be the least convenient scheme 
imaginable.

The sad thing is that, even knowing that, I couldn't find your post in 
10 - 15 minutes of searching the forums, though when I did eventually 
find it, it was very helpful.

[Now if it was just an email archive, I could use all kinds of favourite 
search tools :-]
