Thanks! Gmane fixes this very well. Any plans to post a link to Gamne (or similar) from the main mailing list page?
Thanks, Ezra -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Reynolds Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 9:57 AM To: users@tapestry.apache.org Subject: Re: Why I hate mailing lists Using gmane, you can access any mirrored mailing list (including all apache mailing lists): * using a web-based threaded reader with search * using a blog-like, flat interface with search * using an NNTP news reader * using any one of four variations of an rss feed You can even search across multiple mailing lists at one time. As far as I am concerned, this is much more flexible than most forums. Go to http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.tapestry.user and try it out. With gmane, might even learn to love mailing lists!
