Historically speaking, the word "forum" goes back to Greek or Roman times (I forget which offhand), when it referred to a literal place where people would meet to discuss things. As such, a "forum for discussion" can be any place where people go to discuss things, or to leave messages for other people to respond to, or the like. Even a physical bulletin board can qualify. However, although a "mailing list" and a "Web forum" can both qualify as a "forum for discussion" in a technical sense, they are very different things. If you're referring to a Web forum, you should not call it just a "forum", and if you call a mailing list a "forum", you should not thereby imply that it shares any particular characteristics with a Web forum. >> I sure could have but every once in a while I get the urge to try >> to assist other posters to educate someone who sorely needs it. >> Unfortunately, it seems you're impervious. > > Yes, you're right. I'm impervious. What do you plan to do? So... as far as I can tell, either you've just admitted that you're incapable of learning and are beyond help, or you've just admitted that you're trolling. In either case, the only thing to do would be to begin outright ignoring you (possibly via killfile), and advise other people to do the same. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
