[Greenbuilding] [BULK] Forum vs. Email List

[Lawrence Lile]

My vote would be against the forum format  (here is an example:
http://forums.mikeholt.com/index.php )

I generally use a forum like the one above for a few questions, then
ignore it generally.  An email list shows up in my inbox by itself, and
I find myself drawn into more conversations.  For my nickel, an email
format is easier to jump into daily.

That being said, a forum is probably more friendly to newcomers.

Hi all,
has anyone thought of migrating this email list into the forum
format....

i've seen so many comments regarding replies being listed over and over
again....i find i read probably 1/10 of the daily digest because most of
it
is from the previous days postings....

another bonus are better search features and putting things into subject
types....

just a thought...hope i don't step on any toes for this list is great as
it
is, just thinking of improvements....

mike
