Forums to my view are great for following a specific discussion interest. All the messages are stored on the host. This cuts down your own hard drive storage problem and the length of messages becomes somebody else's problem. I personally prefer to have my messages on my computer. I am not always internet connected. A forum with an RSS feed would be preferable. ___cartoon life blog___<http://home.golden.net/~samu>___more otherstuff __<http://dougsamu.wordpress.com/>__<http://dougrogers.wordpress.com/> ----------------------------------------------------------- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage list subscription options at <//www.freelists.org/list/muglo> -----------------------------------------------------------
