Not trying to ruin the DML and I wouldn't want to change the domain. We have
just been thinking that it would be alot easier for quite a few people to
participate this way and it would be far eaiser to follow a post. Nice thing
about the forum style is that the topics you don't give a damn about can be
just overlooked without ever reading a single commnet in them (seems to be
an area of friction in the past). Basically just looking at different
things. The one nice thing about this way is several different people can be
moderators and take some of the burdon away form Jon trying to keep up with
the webpage. I know he's busy and there is stuff there that could use
updating.
