[arin-discuss] Mailing lists vs Web Forums.

[Scott Morris]

I agree.   I have inbox rules to assist in appropriate filing, and a very
handy Ctrl-D to help manage innocuous messages.

Web mail would never get read.  Less so than some current discussions.  :)

If I had to use a web forum, I would never read any of it.  Mail clients
have threading support for good reason and many of us depend on procmail
rules etc for managing our list traffic.  

I do not have a problem with the addition of a web based digest as long as
it copies the list and is not a replacement. List managers such as mailman
have this feature built in.

Cheers,

Aaron
