Having had to endure the newgroup interface while my eMail address was
being bounced, I much prefer being able to manage the content of my
eMail folders. I don't have to have a network connection while searching
or reviewing material and I can add my own local notes as well. Forums
are even more restrictive than newsgroups so I don't see that they add
anything that is not currently available, and this list has considerably
less traffic than some of the others I am a moderator on ;)
