I have become very frustrated with mail distribution lists. Mail software is crappy, users are careless, thoughtless and slothful.
Because Internet connectivity and speed have improved a lot in recent years (even here in the U.S.) I feel that on-line bulletin-boards are a far preferable medium for user communities and forums. I can't tell if you're joking or not. I really hope you're joking.
Joking? About what? Why?
I was entirely serious.
Why do you find it amusing?
I've yet to see a web-based forum where it was convenient to track multiple threads over a span of days or weeks. Frankly, it's too much work -- I have to remember to go check on specific threads... With e-mail list or newsgroups, stuff just shows up in my mailbox (hey...now THERE's an IDEA...LET THE COMPUTER DO THE MUNDANE WORK LIKE COLLECTING ALL THE MESSAGES WHILE I MAKE THE DECISION OF picking which individual messages I want to read....) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
