After all,
this /is/ classiccmp, where even with all the web-forums
out there, we are still using email ;)
Wha..? Has email suddenly become
passe' or something?
Yes, for many people and purposes - or, rather, no, not "suddenly"; it
has happened gradually over the last deacde or so.
Web fora are not an equivalent, or a replacement.
A lot of people seem to consider them a functional equivalent,
replacement, whatever, for many purposes.
I don't like it any more than you seem to. But that's one of the
directions the computer world has gone these days - and one of the
reasons I'm getting more and more depressed about being more and more
out of step with more and more of it.
