I don't buy the "lower barrier of entry" argument. Forum: - Sign up via web form - Get authentication email - click on it, be logged in or not - post List: - Sign up via web form - Get authentication mail - reply - post Someone iirc said you can even reply without signing up, so it might be even lower. Unless you're saying people don't know what a mailing list is or how it works - then ok. The same could be said for any type of web-based infrastructure. My actual main gripe with forums is that you can't skim it as easily (if you're not reading every thread) because everything is split up into subforums and paginated and whatnot. Or would "internals" be one subforum? ~Florian -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
