But you *are* free to try. FWIW, we have a fairly active Fedora forum at LinuxQuestions.org: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/forumdisplay.php?forumid=35 > I particularly prefer mailing lists since I frequently go through 500 or so > messages at a time on planes, in airports, and while waiting for others who > are late for meetings.

I've looked at adding an email<->forum gateway to LQ. It's certainly a technical possibility, but the demand so far has not been sufficient to implement it. If this changes in the future I'd be happy to revisit the issue. --jeremy
