Subject: Improve this forum, easy!

Hello all,

This forum seems to work ok, because there are many interesting posts, which is
the most important. However the (web-only) interface is very clumsy. It could
easily be improved.

The most important suggestion is this: e-mail each message to the members. With
a simple "in-box rule" we then can transport the messages to a map "CCC" on our
computer at home. And voila, as good as a real newsgroup!

Of course the current web-interface can be maintained, as archive, where you can
check if a message is really posted.

For a very good example of how this could work, take a look at www.egroups.com.
This is a place where everyone can start his own mailinglist. It too has a web
based interface, but the members of a group can choose for e-mailing the
messages. Moderating is supported very well too. If the messages can be mailed
to a moderator, they can as wel be sent to everyone, no?

A second suggestion is the possibility to search for messages a la deja.


Regards,
Bas Hamstra.
