[TheList] No to a forum

Wed May 27 19:53:51 AEST 2009

There is always going to be two distinct sides to this argument, we are seeing that already. I personally prefer the email list rather than having to trawl forums BUT forums serve their purpose in that you only see the thread if you want to see it and the posts are also preserved there in an easier to view format than the mailing list archive.

Whatever we as a community decides to do is going to upset some people but that is life, not everyone can be pleased all of the time.

Let's keep the constructive discussion going before a decision is made.

Cheers
