Web forums vs mailing list (was Re: minor list changes)

Someone wrote... Ok, I'll settle this. Not because of being dictatorial, but because this issue has come up many times before and the classiccmp communitity has already spoken on the subject... There won't be machine and topic specific forums. This has been discussed before and roundly trounced as an option. Most list members prefer to see topics applying to all computers - otherwise they may miss good discussions of restoration techniques, etc. that originate on a particular hardware sublist. The same thing applies for weblogs, wiki's, and web forums. The membership as a whole has always been against this (and not that it matters, but I agree). IF the membership at large does want a wiki/web interface, I'll set one up on the classiccmp server, as it wouldn't make sense to have it processed across the wire. Jay
