all other things aside: If you're on a mailing list, and the list is being shut down, you still get to keep your private mailing list archive, whereas, when the forum operator changes his forum software, or shuts down the forum, all past content is simply gone (or as good as). IOW, if you post to a forum, your content (what you submitted) essentially becomes theirs, and you don't even get to keep the pieces. Kind regards, --Toni++
