Ralph well summarizes my perspective.
Ralph Wilson: "I simply don't work in a "web forum" mode. I won't take the time
to peruse web forums to pull information. I like information being pushed at
me where I can quickly assess "read" or "delete" and move on. If it were to
move to a web based forum, frankly I'd "fall off"... I've gone inactive on
several other forums that have gone web-based. If I had to surf to each of
these forums to get info, I'd spend half my day bouncing from one to the next.
I don't have that kind of "free" time."
Thank you,

problematic - I simply don't work in a "web forum" mode. I won't take the time
to peruse web forums to pull information. I like information being pushed at
me where I can quickly assess "read" or "delete" and move on. If it were to
move to a web based forum, frankly I'd "fall off"... I've gone inactive on
several other forums that have gone web-based. If I had to surf to each of
these forums
to get info, I'd spend half my day bouncing from one to the next. I
don't have that
kind of "free" time.
