The only thing that matters to me is that new users be able to find and participate in a "forum" of any kind at all. If two separate ones throws a wider net, I am for it. That said, I think two forums dilute the interchange of ideas. So I am with Hermann on that score, to create a single uber-forum. I like the RR one better than the use-list; I find the threading far easier to organize and follow.

You have sort of voted for the runRev forum. I prefer that as well. But many prefer the use-list here. I personally think two venues is distracting, but do not want in any way to diminish access and interplay among us. > > > Craig Some like coffee, some like tea; some with sugar, some with milk, some with neither.
