They are really unhandy if you are interested in more than a couple of things. You certainly can't expect the people with answers to your questions to hop around through dozens of them just so you don't have to sort your inbox... > Unless, of > course you still want to recieve 500+ e-mail messages if you are away of > your computer for a day or two and could not cancel mail delivery > temporarily (if you don't get the digest, of course). That's not a problem. Procmail or most mailers will sort them in a jiffy and you can catch up at your own speed. > To each their own, > I just don't get why people don't like the web forums idea... Who's going to do that extra work looking for questions to answer? If a question drops in your mailbox and you happen to know the answer it's a couple of seconds to solve someone's problem. Who's going to bounce though a bunch of web sites for that? -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
