Marissa While I understand why you would consider a msg board a good alternative to an email list, I have to agree with the explanation offered by Sarah as to why an email list is preferable in this situation. It takes a fraction of a second to delete an unwanted email; it takes far longer to navigate from a msg to another msg on a web-based msg board. To my thinking, an email list is far simpler to deal with, particularly with email filtering, than web-based messaging.
